We'll see. I'll leave if that happens.

For now Durov has kept his word for 7 years which is a whole lot longer than most. He was also clear from the start that he would, if necessary, find a non intrusive way to fund it and I feel he might be onto it.

Telegram just promises to behave though. Nothing enforces that.

WhatsApp was great too right up till Facebook bought it.

Anyone who buys Telegram is buying those servers and any messages you have stored on them.
