    How is Telegram US based? It is a Pavel Durov’s offshore company from some Virgin islands. Not European, but not US either.

      In this case, I think the creator just avoids Telegram, for good reason:

      It’s not E2EE encrypted by default.

      The list is not named appropriately “US etc” but it’s not a bad list either

      These lists are almost always stupid.

      The worst part is that usually the maker hasn’t used half of the things they recommend… If they had, they wouldn’t have recommended them.

      I’m guessing they tend to make these lists because of a personal connection to one or two companies they put in their list. Just as bit of free marketing.
