Ignoring the context.

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

You heard right. He never "sold" anything to any govt, he went to Dubai and hosted TG across like 50 different countries so glowies would be drowned in paperwork before they ever got a chance to submit a subpoena for anything, encrypted or otherwise, with it's founder in a nation that basically gives zero fucks about international laws and affairs.

This is why TG was so trustworthy and had such a massive and brazen criminal element
