Telegram still collects and stores private user data, and as per their own privacy policy. This isn't in stark contrast to western companies at all.

Additionally, they fulfilled requests made in Brazil, India, and Germany to name some I remember. Again, using the private user data they collect.

So what you fell for was just basic marketing (a CEO going on a TV program, as Tucker Carlson isn't even news) to market his app.

I find the phrase “isn’t even news” to be quite triggering.
