    If traditional media was so callous it would probably be prosecuted for inciting harmful acts.

    The burden to manage social media will only increase in the next few years

    I know a few people who have had their Wechat accounts suspended.

    ...and it is a painstaking process, and not 100% guaranteed. That is why I much prefer not having to go through a restore process, which Telegram doesn't have to.

    Telegram just doesn't backup, and there's no restore, right? If your phone gets deleted, you just lose everything.

    No, its all stored on the server side, so you enter your phone number and wait for SMS code to verify and you get everything loaded back.

    Because of how it works, you can be added into a group and read all the group's messages which you had missed before you were added.

    Yeah...I like to keep the conversations, but not on the server. An encrypted local backup that I can take care of would be ideal.
