Shmaybe, idk. It never occurred to me until you wrote it that this feature would be used for drug trade. Then again, the one time I turned it on out of curiosity, I figured it's mostly used for prostitution. I guess the use may differ across the world :).
FWIW, I'm somewhat with you on this - I'm not assuming that governments and law enforcement frowning on E2EE chats are just fascists revealing themselves. USA is good at signalling the zeitgeist, but all the issues with police power abuse are IMHO a USA problem, not a whole world problem; over here, people seem to have a little more trust in governments and law enforcement.

TeMPOral is indeed not responsible for most of the vapid idiocies written here about the EU which annoyed me. Thank you for pointing that I’m commenting in anger.
Do you have an actual argument against my main point - Telegram UX is literally designed to facilitate drug trafficking inside the application - or are you just there to parrot the same argument “Absolute freedom of expression! ‘Murica land of the great! We the best!” that’s already polluting 90% of this page? I missed the time where you could have a contrarian position here and it leads to discussions.
