Well they blocked half of the russian internet while not beeing able to shut it down, i think it plausible they just gave up and made it look like a win. I don't think military groups, secret service orgs and even Isis would be using it if there was any more danger than a bot scraping your group in an attempt to detect keywords. I much rather believe Durows arrest in france might have something to do with wider chanel blocks and deletes. I might be wrong, but i trust my guts on the credo "judge a person [app] by the enemys they make" and Telegram seems to be very high on the hitlist of any organ trying to break user privacy.
Russia is not all black, why do you think Telegram is getting as much backlash from states, media and every government that wants more control over certain groups?
"Organized use of the app has been linked to pro-democracy protests in Belarus,[250] Russia,[251] Hong Kong[252] and Iran,[253]"

I don't believe anyone is safe using a smart device if three letter organisations have any serious interest in your persona but i would bet that it is still one of the safer options if you take convinience of usage into play.
