I could put on my tinfoil hat and say if signal is blocked but telegram isn’t, maybe that means that telegram isn’t as secret as they make it out to be.

It's open source. Look can up the encryption yourself.

No need, all you have to do is read the whitepaper. they home brewed the encryption algorithm and nobody actually knows if it's worth a damn. That's not exactly a secret.

And it isn't even encrypted by default, you manually have to enable that. By default, all your plain text messages are stored on their servers.
