    Whatsapp > Telegram tho, Telegram isn’t encrypted by default

    This argument I have never found convincing. For all its faults Telegram is open source. Nothing made by Meta is. When they say “it’s encypted and we promise there’s no backdoor”, we are taking their word for it. I am not a cynical person but I can think of a thousand companies more trustworthy than Meta.

      Whistleblower recently revealed that employees at meta could (and do) just look at anyone’s chat threads. So they absolutely have a backdoor.

      If I really had to rank big tech companies in terms of trustworthiness I would be really hard pressed to find one to rank below Meta.

        Any VC firm funded by US govt.

        Meta is a mere symptom of the forever war economy. They all follow the exact same patterns of surveillance of peeps who can’t be bothered to secure their privacy comms and finance.
