    Telegram is no more secure than any other for-profit platform it claims to be an alternative to.

        I agree. If they’re used solely as any other public forum. The problem is it supports the ecosystem of these platforms’ faux private chats. Also if you have to create an account to view a public chat why not make it encrypted all the way? Matrix.org supports encrypted rooms.

        It’s also ridiculous that you have to give a phone number to use any “type of public forum”, telegram.
