Telegram is NOT an "encrypted messenger." It supports end-to-end encryption ONLY if it is turned on (not by default) and ONLY for single-user chats, never for groups the way Signal, WhatsApp and iMessage do by default. I can't believe that this myth persists.https://twitter.com/wiczipedia/status/1349341628855693315 …

Yes, the sarcasm there didn’t carry. Don’t think we have differing opinions on this. I am aware telegram groups aren’t encrypted and that encryption is opt in.

Then we should not refer to it as an "encrypted messenger". That term should have no use in describing that app. Plus, the disinfo challenges of people moving to Telegram are the same as people being already on Facebook groups as far as encryption or publicness goes.
