        Telegram is a superior messaging app but it’s privacy is questionable. The fact that they keep their encryption protocol hidden is bothersome and the aren’t e2ee by default. And as stated before, it’s not certain their e2ee is as private as they claim.

          IIRC they did publish their encryption protocol, at least a lot of information about it is here. It’s true E2EE is not enabled by default.

          In the end, both encryption protocols are hidden. We can’t really be sure they use what they say they are using in both cases.

        TG has become a very big source of Piracy in recent years.

        People only use TG for that mostly at this point.

        Yeah telegram may be better but the amount of people who use it is very few, the only people I know uses telegram is for porn or download movies and song, not for messaging. In the actual state telegram doesn’t worth it because probably you circle of friends doesn’t use it. Of course this is the case of my friends and my country (Colombia) where it’s more probably find one to use WhatsApp than telegram
