> ... how mainstream media is invariably supporting Signal with positive news while Telegram is negatively pictured. But people are voting... Telegram had 700 million users at the beginning of 2023. I think the reason Telegram is constantly negatively pictured has nothing to do with Signal: it is because it is an actual threat to WhatsApp's dominance. Regarding the supposed benefits of Signal: this thing is collecting metadata left and right. And metadata are much more important than the content of the messages themselves. I simply don't trust Signal. I don't trust Telegram either but at least Telegram doesn't pretend and, well, Telegram is actually used by my family and friends.
