No one asks. It was confirmed multiple times that they can and do give all information to russians, including "deleted" chats and their content. Fact that our government still uses it for non-critical functions is retarded especially after two + years knowing it.

Yeah honestly I just do not understand this. Signal is WAY better in the context of e2e encryption

Simplex Chat or Signal would be nice as well
While Telegram is officially based in the UAE, it has offices and developers in Russia; meanwhile, Pavel Durov is hardly in hiding, visits Russia, and has had no unfortunate encounters with windows or exotic poisons. Which is proof of either (a) Russia’s robust commitment to privacy and human rights, (b) the Russian security services’ comically flat-footed incompetence, or (c) that Telegram, as it currently stands, serves the Kremlin’s purposes admirably well.
