What are the reasons to use Signal over Telegram
-
-
-
Are you implying that Signal is withholding information from the Californian Government? And only providing the full extent of their data to the government?
This comes back to the earlier point that there is no proof Signal even has more data than they have shared.

-
Behind those usernames, are phone numbers (meaning real identities) stored in signal's database.
-
As far as I know telegram requires a phone number too.
And the conversation was about "talking to strangers without giving them your number", not without giving signal nor telegram your number.
-
Right but Signal has been audited by various security firms throughout its lifetime, and each time they generally report back that this messenger has encryption locked down properly.

Even if you switch to an offline keyboard, the new "ai" assistants in Windows, iOS, and maybe Android? Can read your screen, microphone, and etc. I'm not really sure what you should use unless you use coded language. Even then, there's just too much information about you out there anyway.

Hmmm the Signal users sure like it, will have to take off my tinfoil data hat and give it a try

I really like this explanation. Not many are aware of how telegram was designed to make it as cumbersome for authorities as possible by splitting their data across different nations.
-
Same with telegram though

Where do you want to place the goal post?
We talked about comparing 2 applications. Commenter wasn't up-to-date and implied a falsehood, I corrected it as it is important for the discussion. Then you talk about something completely else and in context, implied a falsehood, I corrected that as it is important for the discussion. And now you are talking about something completely else again.
Please express your opinion. You can do it in this thread, even if it is off-topic, I don't care, but please stop acting like you are responding to me.

Do you mean the builds published aren't guaranteed to be built from the source that's on github ? isn't there a cryptographic way to ensure that ?
-
Telegrsm is not secure anymore. USA have all the keys of the encriptions of telegrsm.

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