    Nobody is misleading you because you have deeply held ideas on what words should mean.

    if your definition of encrypted means telegram is an encrypted messenger, than “encrypted” is literally nothing more than a meaningless buzzword, since all messaging services do some kind of encryption.

      My definition of “encrypted” means that something is encrypted. You know, using cryptography.
      Your definition of encrypted means that something is end-to-end encrypted, with only two corresponding people having keys. And we actually have a term for that, it’s end-to-end encryption.
      I understand where you’re coming from, but only one of us using this word correctly.
