 Spain has banned Telegram.

Now some users will be forced to consider decentralized solutions. As I have repeated many times, Session messenger empowers users to defy state level censorship, with its unique blockchain based DNS that completely separates physical locations from identity.

However, Session receives a lot of criticism. Rather than ignore this, I tackle it head on, https://simplifiedprivacy.com/spain-has-banned-telegram-defending-session/ 
 Telegram web should be accessible through the use of a VPN connection though, shouldn’t it? 
 yeah. but anyone smart enough to use a VPN, should not be dumb enough to use Telegram 
 I have seen a note of something before where you exposed Telegram, but I cannot find it.

I have also searched for it on your website to no success.

I am curious to know about privacy and security concerns of Telegram.

 A good rule of thumb: Whatever is being criticized for all the wrong reasons, try it, and see if it works for your needs and threat model.
