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
