This documentary on the drug trade in Belgium has a segment on the uberisation of drug dealing and shows the usage of telegram for that purpose: https://youtu.be/9-DwggVrt2c?t=2613&si=SBct_5WUZCoJmcgA

Yes media has been saying this about telegram since it exists. Yet somehow I doubt all 900 million users are dealers/users.

I was hoping for something more substantial, that showed telegram is used and other apps aren't, for that purpose.

Aren't they saying "whatsapp" and "signal" 2 seconds after "telegram"?
