 That was always a bullshit claim, no?

 Yea but they often declined government requests. Seems like now they will bend over backwards for them.

 Sure, he bought himself his freedom again.

 kinda ironic basically just conceding that they don't make any effort to protect the privacy of group chats tho, it's gonna impact their userbase... probably more people leave without that guarantee, i'm sure maybe 5-10% of telegram users care about this... one of my friends already moved to Session a few months back because the red flags were piling up on telegram
