That is not a reason to cripple the default client. Fortunately, unlike Signal and WhatsApp Telegram is not a walled garden and you can use a different client.

There is no problem with location sharing being enabled by default because location sharing is not enabled by default.
- spacemanmatt 6y agoSignal is not a garden at all. It is a secure communication app that doesn't risk failing its primary mission by accident or accidental misuse. It's not trying to be a social network.
- anoncake 6y agoPlease explain what's the relevant difference between a social network and a communications app in this context. I'm not going to argue about the exact definition of walled garden, I think my point was clear.
- spacemanmatt 6y ago> not enabled by default Not now, but mistakes happen and have happened. Thanks for providing such a perfect venue to illustrate my point.
- anoncake 6y agoYes, this failure mode is not literally impossible. It also isn't literally impossible that Signal accidentally logs all communications to a central server. And as I said: If you want or need to be that careful, just use a different client.
