1. why do everyone insist E2E-encryption is necessary for IM but not for email and letters ( the alternatives)? Because that is mostly what I use Telegram for.

2. I could have a hard time choosing between Signal and Telegram some days. With WhatsApp I know Facebook will do metadata analysis on my contacts and my conversations (possible even with E2E-encryption). They'll also upload some or all my messages unencrypted to Google if I or any of my contacts enable backups.
Does that explain it?
- ash 6y agoE2E encryption is necessary for all communication. Email is unfortunately not encrypted, but it doesn't explain why would you choose non-E22 tech when there are perfectly good E2E alternatives. E2E is an insurance against: * bugs * rogue employee * server vulnerabilities * acquisitions (imagine Telegram being acquired by Facebook) As for metadata analysis, I still fail to understand how is it comparable to Telegram having access to all messages.
