Here's what telegram's founder say about Whatsapp's privacy
The world seems to be shocked by the news that WhatsApp turned any phone into spyware. Everything on your phone – including photos, emails and texts – could be accessed by attackers just because you had WhatsApp installed [1]. This news didn’t surprise me, though. Last year WhatsApp had to ad...

Guys, please stop using telegram if you care for your security and privacy
Telegram is not fully open source, sometimes they release the source, but the hashes of the builds don't even match (so it's a different source code) 🚩
Zero transparency about data handling, even when they get caught they don't tell details 🚩 (Telegram in the recent years has got really shady reputation)
Very often ways they implement security is weird: non open source app, non open source server, leaking APIs, use of phone numbers, at some point they started asking for an email, non encrypted chats by default, never encrypted group chats.. it can continue forever 🚩
Non-standard encryption is a real red flag, non-open-source 🚩
I know some people that work/worked for the police, and they can read all the messages easy peasy, i was trying to tell to the people many years ago, but everyone was so amused by the stickers. Now you can just read stories of the journalists and activists, and how they got imprisoned with the use telegram 👁️🗨️💀
PLEASE, STOP USING TELEGRAM IF YOU CARE FOR YOUR PRIVACY OR SECURITY
Except if you open source server, there's no way to verify it is using same code anyways and their client is already open source so waste point.
sometimes they release the source, but the hashes of the builds don't even match.
When did this happen? Source?
Signal asks phone numbers, emails are universally known. If you don't want to give them your real phone number, buy one from fragment.com (their web3 service where they sell phone number for crypto). Emails are already public and they ask them only for recovery process and its opt on so there's no problem with that.
All chats are encrypted by default from private to group using mtproto, where there have been no breaches found yet so stop spreading misinformation.
Again telling personal experience which maybe lie, can you share source of your claims? Which journalist got arrested due to telegram?
You can go and check yourself mr. Senior Officer of FSB, i don't want to fight for your war
I would spread misinformation on internet and tell others to find source of it 🤓
