This is against Telegram API Terms of Service, so it won't be implemented.

The Telegram API Terms (and whatever other API) doesn't bypass the control I have/pretend to have over my computer and running software. That's the whole point of FOSS (and of a fork). Their API could pretend I must open the software exclusively after 12pm or reboot my computer at 1am or any other stupid clause, it would be the same.

Oh, and the law override illegal API terms (which usually ask for things they have no legal power to enforce) They do that because it's not generally legal to issue unlawful ToS (until they're debunked in a court)

And this software uses Telegram API which means that some behavior may be unwanted for their service. Breaking their rules means that your client may lose access to API, and I'm not interested in fights with Telegram.

What about an environment variable?
