    And in the case of Telegram, if they did that why would anyone sign up for their premium account?

    I tried using Telegram and the amount of spam I would receive was annoying, but what was even more annoying was finding out that the ‘Restrict messages from users not in your contacts’ setting is paywalled. Telegram profits off of the spammers on their network.

      yep, i had that feature on, but then they paywalled it and now I’m getting some spam.

      I don’t really use telegram and I will dump it soon.
