It isn't good unless you like CSAM and drugs
Even then it is still pretty bad as it is easy to identify people on Telegram
I like drugs. I guess I should install telegram. Do the dealers just populate themselves as a service or what?
Thanks, random netizen, for telling me about a method to obtain drugs of which I was unaware!
(Jk, it’s not popular enough here for that, but if it was.. I’d still just use signal ;) )
Telegram is good for keeping the streets clean that's for sure
Street dealing is desperation, a symptom, almost always socially inflicted.
If telegram is keeping the streets clean, that says a lot about the society in which it functions.

(Every country has its own illicit market, it’s just where that takes place and what is restricted that matters.. no legislation is ever going to rid the illicit market. Ever. It exists for a reason, whatever reason. Just make the majority of it (self-harm drugs and the like) legal and the illegal rings for other stuff are a lot easier to spot. Those will be the things that should be illegal, not drugs which primarily harm adults able to consent to doing them. Let’s do the Portugal method of decrim and social support. Even if it isn’t perfect, it’s good.)
