    which is clearly not a private method of communication.

    When Telegram touts itself as secure encrypted communication and how it values privacy, I can understand why he thought he’d be safe. He looks like he’s probably in his 40s like I am, meaning he’s old enough to not get this sort of thing because he didn’t grow up with it.

    Edit: Not defending what happened, I’m glad he was caught and I don’t care that he didn’t understand what Telegram was advertising.

      Anyone in their 40s grew up with technology and should know that it can never be trusted.

      And it wasn’t telegram that (probably) gave them away. They probably met someone online in a an insecure place, then suggested they move to telegram to trade files. Dumb dumb dumb.
