> Even so, most messages sent on Telegram are plaintext, they're encrypted only in transport layer, but Telegram's servers see them in full. you contradict yourself in the same sentence

I must be living under a rock, but at least where I come from, it is common sense that some sun exposure is good. I've never heard of anyone saying that the sun should be avoided at all costs, it's weird. but then you find peopl
