i really hope this is it from telegram. its downright causing havoc in countries without the jurisdictional power like korea and japan which have seen insane rise in drug related crime especially in japan they have a new wave of crime from anonymous telegram operators running human cell crime ops

Is there a defensible position from which to advocate removing the ability of other people to communicate privately? I can't think of any.

If telegram disappeared then others would immediately take its place.

Telegram also isnt device to device fully encrypted unless you use a more limited private chat and, as Telegram uses googles messaging service, so likely compromised to NSA anyway.

A domain ban won't be 'it' for telegram.
