Signal has the better protocol and the better organisation behind it, but inferior apps and UX. It's unfortunate, really.
Apps? I just use it for messaging. I haven’t noticed any major UX issues but I use it for one thing only
Telegram is indeed the best like others are saying, and WhatsApp is a distant second.
This seems like the Kim Dotcom situation again. Why are these service providers being punished for what their users do? Specifically, these service providers? Because Google, Discord, Reddit, etc. all contain some amount of CSAM (and other illegal content), yet I don't see Pichai, Citron, or Huffman getting indicted for anything. Hell, then there's the actual infrastructure providers too. This seems like a slippery s…
Isn't this what Section 230 was supposed to protect against?

Why are these service providers being punished for what their users do [...] maybe I'm just being naive? In this case, the comment does strike me as naive. Back in the 1990s the tech community convinced itself (myself included) that Napster had zero ethical responsibility for the mass piracy it enabled. In reality, law in a society is supposed to serve that society. The tech community talked itself into believing tha…
> Napster had zero ethical responsibility for the mass piracy it enabled How could they have any moral responsibility for ethically neutral thing other people were doing?

> stored along with the keys It's not. They use a split-key encryption system so it's not exactly the same as storing the keys where the data is. > It all comes down to your threat model. Encryption does not protect information from entities who hold the keys to decrypt that information. I agree, which is why I'll say that the bottom line is: Are auditable E2EE algorithms stronger in security than cloud encryption? Y…
> It's not. They use a split-key encryption system so it's not exactly the same as storing the keys where the data is. Yes, again, it all comes down to your threat model. No one can kick down the door and get to the keys. But Telegram can get to all the keys, and thus can be legally expected to . The data is effectively plaintext to Telegram. > Is MTProto 2.0 Cloud Encryption plaintext? No. Just to note: "effectively…

you comment strikes me as naive in the same lines as "i have nothing to hide"

If that would be the case he would be at least a accomplice if not even the Initiator of criminal activities.
Otherwise it would be just an abuse of his service by criminals.

I'm generally very pro EU, but this anti-encryption stuff they try to pull these last couple of years needs to stop. If it's proven that Pavel Durov is facilitating bad actors with purpose, that's a different story, but creating a secure messaging platform by itself should not constitute a crime.
Telegram is not a secure messaging platform. By default Telegram is not encrypted at all. Only "secret chats" in Telegram are encrypted. Telegram groups are not - and those can be made public and basically are just Telegram hosting content on their servers for you.
