Through their proxies in the encryption industry (like this one), the NSA imposed flawed standards onto the encryption used by the rest of the world, cautioning everyone else from "rolling out their own encryption". For many years the National Security Agency (NSA) has been making sure that international encryption standards are in line with what the NSA can decipher, and all other approaches to encryption are labeled as "non-standard" or "home-brew". Some supposedly secure apps have been funded by government agencies from their inception (e.g Anom, Signal). In most cases the agencies don't even need a court order to extract private information from messaging apps such as WhatsApp, and in other cases, court documents are shrouded in secrecy. If an engineer speaks publicly about it, then can go to jail for breaching a gag order. Because their engineers reside in the US, they have to secretly implement backdoors in their apps when the US government orders them to. Most other apps couldn't guarantee privacy to their users even if they wanted to. The report has confirmed that Telegram is one of the few messaging apps that doesn't breach their users’ trust. A recent report has proven that Telegram sticks to its promise of keeping its user data private, while apps like WhatsApp give real-time user data to third parties, and despite their numerous claims about "E2E encryption", can also disclose message contents.
