Many don't seem to understand why I object to @Telegram having unsafe, censorable public channels in an app that is promoted as a secure messenger. Some presumed I just don't understand how channels work. So let's talk about it:

Too much convenience leads to apathy and greater userbase. Telegram clearly chose the latter. For people are are serious about
#privacy there's BSD and GNU/Linux with PGP. -

That's the difference. We have many really secure apps with almost no users. We have a few really insecure apps with many users. And Telegram is trying to offer these insecure users a similar user experience, but more securely. And that is very important.
