- Telegram is non-profit.

- Telegram did not originate in the U.S., it originated in Eastern Europe.

- Telegram is not really a social media platform but more like a chat/conferencing platform--e.g. more like Discord. There isn't much in the way of "pages" or a profile. No one is going to know about your group unless you tell people outside of Telegram and provide the link.

- The only thing I know of that Telegram does to groups/channels contentwise is set a flag that they host pornographic content, and the only consequence is that the iOS app blocks the group. The PC desktop and web version are unaffected. Easy fix is to use Nicegram instead, and following the instructions to update a setting to allow all content.

Nicegram is also on Android (yay!!) and I hope they are able to innovate more in that space.
