>I dont write off software because where the person that made it was born.

That's fine. I write it off because it by default leaks all of your content and metadata to the server, and then I ask why, and who is learning all that information and I do not like the answer.

>Seems like many people do this when it comes to russian tech

Yeah as a Finn it's not very hard to distrust Russia.

> Even if it was a russian op (its not the Ukrainian military literally used telegram for years)

You didn't prove anything with this, if anything, the fact that Ukraine banned using Telegram on the state officials devices, speaks the exact opposite: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c78dwepw95do

>the russian government cant touch me

If it's a Russian op, they're collecting your entire life, your political opinions, your relationship issues, everything, in search of kompromat that they'd use to coerce you during recruiting.
