Ignoring the context.

Don't pirate over Telegram, it's no longer safe in terms of privacy and legal safety.

Yeah. You can't offer a half-secure and half-private platform and expect your average person to be able to figure out which half is which, which leads to crazy misconceptions, misunderstandings, and ultimately just a bunch of wrong and misleading information being passed around.

I'd argue, though, that Telegram probably did this on purpose, and profited GREATLY from being obtuse and misleading.
