    Uh you appear not to understand how encryption works? Either something is end-to-end encrypted, and the service provider doesn’t have access to the encryption keys, and thus can’t read the messages, or it is encrypted in transit, the keys are held by the provider and the messages are decrypted on the server. The latter is exactly what Telegram does, even though they falsely try to market it as something else.

      the messages are decrypted on the server

      What you said means they can be decrypted on the server. But there is no proof of that happening in the past. People got into problems not because someone uncovered their content in telegram, but because that content was effectively public from the beginning.
