Agreed. I'm confused as to why Telegram doesn't implement e2e by default. It seems to be the number 1 criticism of people who would otherwise most likely sign up. Post-Snowden, the question around encryption seems to have shifted from "why are you doing it?" to "why aren't you doing it?". It just seems like an odd feature not to have unless you have a strong reason for not wanting it. Is it a technical hurdle?
