In the United States, Telegram's lower public profile has helped it mostly avoid high level scrutiny from Congress, but it has not gone unnoticed. Founder Pavel Durov says tech is meant to set you free "Your messages about the movement of the enemy through the official chatbot โฆ bring new trophies every day," the government agency tweeted.
