 Telegram works more like a social network. With groups up to 200.000 Users and Channels with an endless number of users!

Threema is a messenger only. And groups are limited to a maximum  of 256 users!

While a group of 256 user is not that big, it would work pretty well for distributing CP or drugs.

Agree. And not just a social network, but a very popular one. Which brings us back to the real reason behind attacks on TG and it's not the interest of marginalized groups in forbidden stuff as French gov says. It's indeed a political case and the real reason is mass surveillance and thought control.

It's very sad that they got Durov.
