Would you say that it’s irrelevant that for example Signal is open source and makes an effort to make the code they run on their servers verifyable? Or that the messenger is made by a foundation? I will have to look into the backdoor allegations in the other thread, if true it should be pointed out in the code. I still think that is preferable to a complete black box like WhatsApp or Telegram

What are your thoughts on the privacy of telegram? It has always seemed fishy to me (could just be the prevalent usage of it in conspiracy theory communities though)
