    Depends on the country. In some countries, businesses are on Telegram. In others, they’re on Facebook Messenger. Sometimes they’re on Viber.

    It’s all about the platform customers use. If you’re trying to sell stuff to a market segment where everyone uses WhatsApp, using Telegram would be pretty much useless.

    That said, plenty of shady people here seem to use Telegram as a means of communication rather than WhatsApp, which 90% of the population uses. Why you’d use an inherently insecure platform like Telegram for selling drugs is beyond me when apps like Signal exist, but I guess people buying illegal drugs commonly have Telegram installed?
