Despite Telegram removing a line claiming all chats are private, another part of its FAQ section still retains the language.

Telegram is no longer safe for piracy.

I bet they will start kicking out piracy channels in few weeks.

this all seem confusing, there’s no such thing as “private” chats on Telegram, only secret chats which are E2EE, well even their encrypting is questionable
