Telegram can read your messages FYI, there is no E2E encryption if you are not in secret chat

Homie it never was E2E. It uses SSL, and the traffic is even encrypted in-flight with Telegram keys, but that encryption is between you and Telegram, not between you and the other person.

Other than that Durov is a very shady character, who claimed to have left russia for good, yet had a whole Telegram department working in the same VK offices for years after that
