Ignoring the context.

Don't pirate over Telegram, it's no longer safe in terms of privacy and legal safety.

As some people poined out, I was talking about VK. A Russian social network that ended up in the claws of Russian government, which in turn ended up in massive political repressions of it's userbase for posting "wrong" things.

He then made Telegram and used Russian government's attempts to block it as a PR campaign. I guess that's what made it so appealing at first, but now French government stepped in and we are going all over again.
