    My phrasing was wrong; MTProto 1.0 was weak. 2.0 is apparently better. However:

    because all communication, including plaintext and ciphertext, passes through Telegram servers, and because the server is responsible for choosing Diffie–Hellman parameters, the “server should not be considered as trusted.”

      That’s different from what I asked. It’s about the other users or hackers, not services. I already live under assumption that no server of any service can be trusted.
