> It is a car with seatbelts that don’t work; a car without any seatbelts is better. This is a wrong comparison. Furthermore: As an early enthusiastic Whatsapp user I'd love to use Whatsapp if it had continued developing into what Telegram is now instead of selling out and start feeding data Facebook. Right now -one side has sketchy crypto (according to world leading cryptographers AFAIK) and correct incentives while the other side has -- good crypto, -- incentives stacked towards tracking me (contrary to their previous promises) -- and a track record of doing exactly that I don't think it is an obvious choice without trade-offs either way. But it's not like "just use Whatsapp" is an obvious alternative. (Signal seems to be a completely different story but most of my contacts don't use it.)
