Potential conflicts of interest, no "smoking gun" as headline implies... Yet again.

Do I trust Telegram? No.

But there's less evidence of wrongdoing at the moment by orders of magnitude than WhatsApp, etc.

I do appreciate the conversation, but holy hell the same connect-the-dots is never made about WhatsApp. Makes me wonder who's pushing these stories.

Good journalism would cover the issues with all the mainstream comm systems.
