I read this article and there is a lot of untruths, for example that Telegram was able to defeat the Russian government by simply changing the IP address, that Telegram is operating outside the law, not following Russian laws, not giving out encryption keys and not cooperating with the state

What proof? Do you want me to give you links to Russian laws that oblige all distributors of information to register in a special registry and provide encryption keys to the FSB? These laws can’t be circumvented, how did Telegram suddenly stop being blocked in Russia if it didn’t provide encryption keys? I live in Russia and I know all the laws, the ECHR ruling will not change anything, Durov is still leaking correspondence to the FSB.
This is not true, Telegram agreed to cooperate with Russian authorities, Durov met with Russian authorities on this issue, also Russian laws oblige everyone to give out encryption keys, who does not give out will be blocked forever, like Tutanota or Proton, what Telegram did was a PR campaign, Durov is cooperating with Russia.
These claims mislead users by making Telegram look like a champion of user privacy at its best
