“When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on.”
I totally understand your point, but far from being a sheep, I live in a country where Whatsapp is the standard even for government, healthcare, college, private work. On the other hand showing people an app that only do better on privacy, which should be enough but it doesn’t, but has no other appeals/features is a war lost before it’s start. I’m happy many of you could do the switch. Best I could do, and I know I’ll get ranted for this, was get as many people as I could to telegram. Please be gentle.
I feel ya mate. Lets just hope whatsapp fucks up and goverments stop using it
You did see this coming, but I don’t understand why people associate Telegram with security in any way. It openly states that it’s not end to end encrypted and everything is visible to the server! And if you enable end to end encryption for a particular chat, its functionality is severely restricted.
I don’t associate telegram with security nor privacy, I know its flaws, I just choose to use it instead of anything meta related. I understand it’s bad company X versus bad company Y. But as I said a perfect messenger app that has no user base is useless. I really wish things like signal or, even better, sessions became the mainstream way to communicate.
Makes sense. I also use all kinds of messengers. But it just so happens that the people I communicate with the most also use Signal 😁
