Sure, you'll find people believing and spreading misleading statements everywhere. Encrypted, compared to Whatsapp, is wrong. But secure? Sure. I much prefer governments getting access to my data via snooping than advertising companies being spoon fed my data with the intention of influencing my opinion.

Telegram does get access to your data, and them getting into advertisement is literally the topic of this discussion.

As a result, governments aren't getting access to Telegram, advertisers are.

I think that you should read the fine article. It seems that you are assuming things that are incorrect.
