>Let's be honest the real reason to use Telegram wasn't security Yet the VERY FIRST feature presented in Telegram's front page is privacy: "Telegram messages are heavily encrypted and can self-destruct." Heavily encrypted is a complete lie, but people who want privacy don't know that, they will download Telegram thinking it's secure. You're wrong and you're doing harm by spreading claims like that. >or his advocates) pops up and tells us it's trash and we should all use signal instead. Yeah, everyone should fight the propaganda machine shilling a really, really dangerous product. Every time someone recommends Telegram it's due to features, the marketing strategy is clearly "if we can get them hooked on features, they will forget about the fact every feature is designed to spy on them". >The real reason to use telegram is that it's miles away the best messenging program out there. Ooh you're one of them. See here's the thing: the features that aren't really private, aren't really features. Telegram is a collection of trojan horses: seemingly useful things that actually hurt you by spying on you. When you measure Telegram's E2EE features against that of Signal's you'll immediately see who has more features. Telegram doesn't even have group messages. >It's as user friendly as whatsapp while having completely seamless desktop/mobile integration It doesn't. There is absolutely no desktop mobile integration for anything that's E2EE. For Signal, everything is. >Then you have all the gravy like cool tools for groupchat admin, channels, and bots of course No there are no private group chats with any kind of management in Telegram. >Yeah my texts are probably being read by the FSB. So what? To me it sounds like you're a privileged person who doesn't have to care about these things. You're not doing anything that will ever rock the boat, so you're pretty much immune. The only real question is, what is your legacy? Also why did you come here to tell us about your privilege and to list Telegram's dangerous features? Because you're a good Samaritan?
