The Telegram servers are in Miami, Amsterdam, and Singapore, so some data is still stored in the U.S.

In any case, it wouldn't be any better to have data stored in a country like China or Russia.

Chinese and Russian authorities can’t steal me from my home and imprison and torture me for the rest of my life
