        These two are intertwined though. And the main alternative Meta also has its fair share of allowing criminal content, fake news and propaganda. The question is, who gets to control it.

          How are they intertwined? Telegram allows public posts and livestreaming, neither of which they moderate. That’s nothing to do with encryption and everything to do with pushing the legal boundaries they knew existed.
