Telegram is just actually superior in terms of features I don’t get it.

Because I’d rather be spied on by the USA than Russia.

Not being spied on is not an option if you want to stay in contact with people.

Do you live in Russia? Who can really use that information to damage you somehow, the USA or Russia? If you live in the US or in a country subservient to their government is better to being spied by Russia on that case.

I’ve made this exact argument many times. As a US citizen Russia and China have no power over me so it’s better for me to have my info there than at home. A person’s own government may use their info as a means of direct control while a foreign government can’t do that.

If anyone is going to spy on me I prefer that it is not America.

America bombed and invaded 2 countried that are our neighbours. We are still feeling and living the effects of the wars American thugs waged in the Middle East.
