Greetings!

A friend of mine wants to be more secure and private in light of recent events in the USA.

They originally told me they were going to use telegram, in which I explained how Telegram is considered compromised, and Signal is far more secure to use.

But they want more detailed explanations then what I provided verbally. Please help me explain things better to them! ✨

I am going to forward this thread to them, so they can see all your responses! And if you can, please cite!

Thank you! ✨

    Yep, and this allows for proper content moderation. Telegram can actually just find and report creeps to authorities

      That too. Sadly the restrictiveness was badly abused. Noone really wonders but…that’s why we can’t have nice things.

          I meant the restrictiveness towards governments. The pesos and Nazis fucked that up, tgram had to do something or have their ill repute grow even more.

            Telegram seems to be a popular option for groups of such orgs. Other apps have the same risks tho. It’s a bit if a mess
