I don’t know. I’m having a much better time getting friends to move to telegram than signal.
I prefer signal, but they all seem to prefer telegram as an alternative.
Telegram is actually worse for privacy and security than Whatsapp.
Really?
I mean I understand whatsapp has E2E encryption but they sell all your metadata and account data and stuff dont they. Does telegram do worse?
Telegram is well known bad https://soatok.blog/2024/05/14/its-time-for-furries-to-stop-using-telegram/
Telegram can read all your actual conversations (since almost no one uses encryption on it).
It's run using a complex web of shell companies in various countries like the British Virgin Islands, Dubai and a lot of others.
They say they don't sell your data, but it is a for-profit organisation and no one can really know what they do.
telegram doesn't even do e2ee by default
I've had a shockingly easy time getting my friends and family to move to signal.
There is literally only one person I have not gotten to move to it and that's because she just has so many contacts who won't leave Facebook.
