I heard of an interesting conspiracy theory that Telegram & Mr. Durov are the grandiose project of the Russian secret service. Mr. Durov's company VKontakte that is the clone of Facebook in Russia is now fully controlled by structures affiliated to Kremlin after Mr. Durov was allowed to sell the company and leave Russia. The theory says that he was allowed to do so in exchange of building fully controlled global IM which is secure on paper but transparent to certain observers. BS? Probably! But if telegram is successful in creating global in-app purchase system that is centralized(the article mentions that) and controlled by Kremlin, that would be an awesome undercover operation, the one of a bigger caliber than Trump's election. |

How do you subvert an increasingly connected population where information travels and spreads like wildfire that can force you out of power?
You bring those people on a platform where they are told they are safe because of technical jargon here.
It's in their best interest to not reveal these relationships or make it obvious that the people on such platform are being monitored. Nor are they trying to catch people who are smart enough to not use the platform. ex. "terrorists"
What's important is that they've essentially captured a large bracket of the population using such privacy tools thinking they are free from surveillance when in fact it's the complete opposite. Now you have full ability to disrupt and destroy any type of anti-government organization.
