Considering Telegram has partnered with Tencent, I wouldn't say it's less problematic.

My understanding is that Telegram is partnered with a non profit crypto group, and that group is partnered with like 20 different companies that validate transactions, one of which is Tencent.

Granted I only read a couple articles on it in the last five minutes cause this was the first I heard of it, there could be more to the story I missed.
