Funding might be true. But do we have real evidence that it was done precisely for what you described? Did someone specific decided “let’s give them money, so they would build rockets to bomb us, then invade to kill our citizens in an attack we’ll be unprepared for and then have all the right to obliterate them and nobody would stop us”?
I smell the same and can’t help but to mention just a few off the top of my head.

pouet.net - go there, download and watch it yourself. Youtube is cool but real stuff is so much better, especially when you check the file size. Though be aware, some of these old ones don’t play well at non-96 dpi display settings.
This is art and I’m not even joking. This shit should have replaced wars.
How do notifications work in the official Telegram Android app (Play Store vs Site version maybe)? Does it have the same mechanism as Signal, which only recognizes the presence of notifications via Google services, but sends them via its web socket service?
I’ve been using Telegram enough to understand that such allegations are useless. The first link is literally not about Telegram but about its 3rd party fork that original developers can’t do anything about. The second link is about piracy, and any app owner would handle any data they could in similar situations.
Telegram is not just a messaging app but a public platform with channels and public chats. Any app with these properties will eventually have the same issues. If you don’t want to risk, you just use it as a personal messaging app and that’s it - in this way it’s not much different from other “secure” messaging apps.
The way for apps like Signal to remain “truly secure” in “careful” users’ eyes is avoiding the introduction of the public communication part, which could lead to all the same problems some people don’t like Telegram for.
That said, Telegram actually has a history of being a “bad actor” if you want to call it so. Namely:
At first it was possible to steal someone’s account by faking a SIM card (any government can do this). Later Telegram introduced cloud password that helped to prevent such cases.
At various points Telegram wrongfully banned and marked as “fake” various channels and bots used by opposition in Russia.
But I can’t agree that either of that makes Telegram an insecure messaging platform. It’s either about bad management decisions in specific situations (e.g. Durov being worried about Telegram getting banned) or technical aspects of how user reports are handled (basically any channel can get marked “fake” if enough user reports are received).
Oh that’s right, the spoken administrative context. Same in my dd-mm-yyyy county actually. Still, I find it less intuitive than the logical yyyy-mm-dd when understanding written text.
It would have been okay if they just lived their live peacefully and actually cared to improve. But no, “we need more land and more people over the world seeing how we kill civilians”. This is so going to work for sure, yeah.
