Yes, yet telegram isn't a piece of shit of an app that runs slowly on every device, can't sync messages because "something went wrong" and doesn't depend on electron to run. Also, not funded by the CIA.

Could you not apply this "funded by the CIA" argument to other things such as... The Tor Network? Which was created by the US Military Naval Research? Also some US government departments have donated to Tor. Does that mean Tor is breached?
