i really hope this is it from telegram. its downright causing havoc in countries without the jurisdictional power like korea and japan which have seen insane rise in drug related crime especially in
japan they have a new wave of crime from anonymous telegram operators running human cell crime ops
If telegram disappeared then others would immediately take its place.
Telegram also isnt device to device fully encrypted unless you use a more limited private chat and, as Telegram uses googles messaging service, so likely compromised to NSA anyway.

I'm not certain that's the case. Telegram has survived in large part because Durov is incredibly wealthy and can afford to shovel money into running the service more or less indefinitely. There's no obvious heir apparent.

I love how your solution isn't "country should decide for themselves and pass the law that suits them" but "let people that have nothing to do with that country take something away from them (sidenote: I also don't have nothing to do with that country)".
Drug abuse is a systematic problem, if telegram single-handedly enabling it to alarming rates, the solution should be at least to ban a tech stack.
Otherwise it will get replaced in a seconds.
