How do explain the rising usage of Telegram/WhatsApp/Signal, if encryption isn't important to people? I find that most people actually do care about their privacy, but they want it to be made easy for them as well.
- _Tev 9y agoI know plenty of people using Whatsapp and no people caring at all about its approach to privacy. I have not heard of those other two platforms outside of privacy-obsessed communities. Are real usage data disproving my anecdata?
- def_true_false 9y agoAFAIK Telegram has a substantial user base in Russian speaking countries, Iran and cryptocurrrency related communities. Although I think that's mostly thanks to their successful marketing rather than offering any real privacy/security.
