Encryption in transit is assumed, and rightfully so. That still means that telegram gets full access to the plaintext and as such is able to give that information to anyone, and do with it as they wish.

I suppose there are some people pit there that think "unencrypted" here means everyone can listen in, but certainly not the hackernews crowd.

Heh, we've come far. True unencrypted chat was once popular, and technically still exists (although most IRC networks now default people to TLS.)
