The Telegram apps are GPL. Their server is (afaik) closed-source, but having an open source server implementation doesn't mean much for a centralised service without any server-switching support anyway, so no effective practical difference to Signal here in that regard.
The E2E situation on Telegram is poor however.
- fastball 6y agoI think the two things (open source servers and E2EE) dovetail together. If the E2EE situation is poor, what is happening on the backend with your data becomes more relevant.
