Telegram has always had the sketchiest people on it. I refuse to use it because it feels like I'm talking with human traffickers. Doesn't surprise me he was arrested.
I, too, prefer spending my time on subs related to things I neither own, used nor enjoy!
So never used the app, but flat out make that assumption. Check. lol
I'm a sex worker so I get a LOT of requests to use Telegram. Human trafficking is something I am directly exposed to and I am in danger of. The men who request to use Telegram make me feel in danger. So it doesn't surprise me the owner of that app was arrested. My assumption comes from my experience.
This sub isn't a telegram sub, it's a technology one. I use technology.
