All of your assertions would be easily provable if Telegram allowed audits and provided public financials. They do neither. In fact, they just try to talk in loops when it is brought up.
The whole operation is sketchy as hell. Anyone who provides their data to such an org is foolish. At least the Meta’s of the world have to declare their use and it is known and audited.
Telegram wouldn’t even provide a CUSIP or names of the firms that supposedly bought their corporate paper bond.
I’ll stick with Signal. An org whose funding is clear and who has their encryption and security audited by third parties.
What could be other reasons not to do an audit other than it being shady? Maybe they just don’t want to disclose their algorithm?
So far, I trust it more than WhatsApp.
But Signal is definitely the better choice. It’s just sad the people didn’t go with Signal instead of WhatsApp.
