Telegram doesn’t care about privacy

They want to charge for turning off messages from unknown contacts. The amount of people that contact me with scam and spam messages is overwhelming. Telegram, do better. This shouldn’t be a paid service to prevent people from messaging me. Terrible service for lack of this protection.
