This does not deal with the very real fact that Signal's server code is out of date by 9 months. Period. Telegram's closed-source server was used as a weapon against the Telegram community by Signal people for ages. But now that the shoe's on the other foot, let's be apologists.
2. Sources. Because all I see is Telegram protecting protestors in Belarus, Hong Kong, and Russia.
- xurukefi 6y agoSignal is rightfully critiziced by people for their outdated server code. I'm just arguing that a) this does not make them as bad as WhatsApp or Telegram and b) updating the server code does not add as much trust as people tend to think. In fact, it's more of a symbolic act, because it does not give any strong technical guarantees.
