#12France is arresting people for providing end-to-end encrypted communications? What could possibly go wrong!
Telegram doesn't have much to do with E2EE.

#19What is the difference between telegram and cell phone providers other than encryption in relation to these charges?
Cell phones are encrypted over the air, but they aren't end to end encrypted, and it's safe to assume that a provider will wiretap the plaintext passing through their backend if the authorities ask for it.
