tool/plattform is non existing, it rather collects the users private data and
sends it to a server.
I believe such software should not be packaged for+in Debian as it seems to be
today...: literally, a money-quote from this blog post (from a fellow DD):
"The first thing the application did was to check my address book for
contacts, without my permission or knowledge. I got greeted by being told that
some of my contacts already have Telegram installed, and since then I keep
getting notification that some more of my geek friends are installing it. So
it is obvious that this company got all my records, breaking my privacy and
security."
cheers,
Holger, who hasn't tried telegram himself...
