While it's not a million a worker, I think providing and even promoting remote working can be beneficial overall. I work remotely and it saves money for both me and my company. There's also less stress associated with commuting. Remote work is not for everyone (nor possible for all job functions), but companies and employees should give it more consideration. https://remote.co/10-stats-about-remote-work/
Thanks for the link. However it is quite old, and Telegram was responding to the discussions and comments, demonstrating at least some respect for the feedback and perhaps doing something about it. Is there a more recent audit? I came across this - https://www.eff.org/secure-messaging-scorecard - a while back but it doesn't seem very thorough.
"Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products" by Nir Eyal - I'm reading it myself. I think it's really useful for those doing product development/management and building user engagement.
