Because Telegram has headquarters in London, United Kingdom (legal domicile) [1] and becuase conversations on Telegram are not E2EE, does that mean that they could voluntarily scanning them?

Telegram is people, not a company, unlike Facebook.

Durov brothers and a small core team live in Dubai. Other developers are working remotely.

And I guess they have a bunch of legal entities all over the world to bootstrap the advertising accounts they recently announced.

For users who signed in from the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) are supported by storing data only on servers in the Netherlands, and designating a London-based company as their responsible data controller.[1]

Now, question is, because there is a London-based company, are they allowed to read and store all messages?
