Why Signal over other alternatives like Telegram?

[–] awderon 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Signal is mainly used by the people I communicate with. The Founder of Signal is also a known Computer Security expert. The signal protocol itself is also used by WhatsApp, Google Messages and Faccebook Messages.

I just had a look at the telegram privacy policy (https://telegram.org/privacy#8-who-your-personal-data-may-be-shared-with) and compared to signals privacy policy (https://signal.org/legal/) telegrams policy is just not for me.

Whats wrong with Telegram one?

[–] awderon 4 points 1 year ago

Their company construct and data sharing within that construct just doesn't align with my values.
