“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.”

This isn’t an ad, I wasn’t paid for this post. Just to clear the air: fuck facebook, fuck elon musk and twitter, fuck anyone who thinks this is a paid advertisement. I wish I was paid for this shit, I just wanted to spread the word. Thank you. 😀 👍

    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 😁
