If Telegram is considered an encrypted messenger, then FB messenger should be too.

But strangely only one is being prosecuted.

I suspect that’s because Telegram’s marketing and it’s users consistently try to place Telegram in the same categories as actually secure and encrypted messengers. Whereas I don’t see tech blogs claiming that FB messenger is secure.
