Re: Does anybody have experience with Telegram?

It is a secure chat/messaging app. It keeps no logs or records on calls and on "secret chats" with end to end encryption.

This article is from April 2019, but gives a basic understanding of it: https://www.androidauthority.com/what-i ... er-979357/

You can also read about it on Wikipedia for more information.

People not wanting to be tracked by government or by big tech seem to like this app - better than WhatsApp/ Wechat (Chinese communist monitored) . But so does Antifa as per Andy Gno (independent reporter who documents the movement and activities of Antifa). With end to end encryption unless they get the user to unlock the phone, the authorities are not going to get anything from this app. A user can also set up self destruct timers that will destroy the secret chats.

This can be used for both good and evil - it's just a tool. If things turn bad it might be a useful tool for secure communications between individuals.
