Ignoring the context.

Don’t pirate over Telegram, it’s no longer safe in terms of privacy and legal safety.

    Telegram never was private, group chats never were encrypted (and that’s not an opinion: the feature simply is missing). If anything, they are just removing their false and deceiving claims. That they remained there for so long is something I can’t wrap my head around.

      They were cutting files in smaller parts and spreading over multiple locations and countries. At least that was the claim in the early days, so anything illegal would require lawyers on many jurisdictions sending the same letter (e.g. DMCA takedown)

      Ironically, it did work but now that Durov is in jail channel admins would do good to take precautions.
