No one uses telegram for privacy They use for unlimited broadcasting channels Free unlimited file hosting Large groups and communities Powerful bots and mini apps etc

This is a difficult topic for me. On the one hand, I believe everyone has a right to privacy and we need to fight for that right. On the other hand, I'm enough of an adult to understand that law enforcement needs to be able to effectively investigate criminal activity. There has to be a middle ground there, somewhere. I just don't know where that is.
