 One time I went on a date with a girl who turned out to be a DEA Agent and she told me that "Drug dealers thing Telegram is Private, it's not"

Creeped me TF out.

 If I had to sat for every pixel in that picture, I'd have about two.

 By drug dealers she must have meant the cia


That is creepy. I'm sure she'll burn in hell for betraying her species.

 Yeah, few know this, and they don't make secret chats easy to use

 Yea they def don’t advertise it.

I find them easy to use though once connected. 
Only thing is they don’t show up on desktop, I imagine probably for the same reason that it recently came out that signal is not fully secure on desktop 🤷‍♀️

 100% true but I think most noobs either misunderstand or incorrectly assume that secret chats are the default.

 💯 yes, this has always baffled me.. why not just make them all e2ee, and where not possible (for eg on desktop), put a warning sign you need to acknowledge before proceeding

 That's what makes it weird why he was arrested tho. It's a nice tool for police
