I'll admit I don't know a lot about him but I do not only see "*** **** blah-blah *** SOCIAL NETWORK...". There is nothing wrong with social networks when they are done right (i.e. open and distributed where the user has 100% control of their data) but as far as I can tell, his one doesn't fall into that category.

The point I am trying to make is that the data passes through a centralised server. The Telegram protocol is irrelevant to that argument as it does not disclose anything about the back-end and even if it did, you don't know what's actually running on the server.
