I don't know and I don't care.

The comment I replied to said all these great things about Telegram, as if it where a marketing copy, but none of the downsides.

Instead of Telegram, go self-hosted for company related communication activity. See Gamers Nexus recent video on self-hosted discord alternatives https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpjcmXbmMVM

For encrypted group conversation over third-party networks use Signal, or Matrix which try to keep your conversations private.

The fact that Telegram has their support playbooks online, is interesting. Though I would call the following claim a stretch

> As a result, we have disclosed 0 bytes of user data to third parties, including governments, to this day.

Telegram gave more user data to French authorities after founder's arrest https://www.lemonde.fr/en/pixels/article/2025/01/08/telegram...
