Telegram isn't even E2EE
If you don't turn on the secret chat feature it wont be, yes. However if E2EE was the only deciding factor for a gov to go against an App then they woudln't be going after Telegram. The fact that govts are going so hard at telegram simply proves that even when the company has access to all our chats they don't actually provide them to said govts.
I'm not saying telegram is good from a security perspective, I'm just saying that event without E2EE and all the modern wonders govts can't still get in because the company doesn't indulge their requests.
