Well, you're answering to my thread, if we go like this. Where I said that one reason the UX is better in Telegram is that they don't care about privacy.

Then we fundamentally disagree on what UX means. If it takes 2 days to receive a message because a human has to check that it is not spam, wouldn't you say that it's bad UX? Or is "scrolling" the only thing that you put into "UI/UX"? Do you actually know what UI/UX is?

> It is not obviously wrong, and you've done nothing but attempt to loop the conversation back to some level of privacy/encryption/etc.

Because that's my goddamn point from the beginning on. Privacy has an impact on UX (which means "user experience", by the way), period.

> If that is not clear to you, I don't know what to say anymore.

Same here. You don't seem to understand how privacy works technically, and you don't seem to understand what UI/UX means.
