It validates that governments can see what’s happening on Telegram, and that makes Telegram a target.

They can’t go after the likes of Signal because they have very little to go on in the first place. They can’t say definitively what’s happening there as they can’t see any messages. Unlike Telegram.

It’s not a conspiracy that Signal are compromised, so they’re being ignored. They’re being ignored because there’s nothing to see, so governments might as well spend resources going after the apps where information is visible instead. At least they might get a result. E2EE apps are too difficult.

(Properly implemented E2EE is too difficult at the moment but those are some big caveats. Still: didn’t use Telegram.)
