While we do have criticisms of its centralized architecture and other choices we highly regard Signal for ushering in a decade of popularizing end-to-end encryption. We particularly appreciate @Mer__edith doing excellent communication work there. It's disingenuous that tech-billionaires Musk/Dorsey fuel attacks on her and another female colleague, hinting at Telegram as a more secure messenger. Comparing security of Signal with Telegram simply results in "Type Error: incompatible arguments".

@delta @Mer__edith Signal is overall better for content privacy than Telegram.Telegram audio and video calls are also E2EE.But comparing Telegram Secret Chat and Signal Messages I think Telegram Secret Chat has more privacy and anonymity.Ex:peer to peer #messaging with E2EE.

@vibudanimsara @Mer__edith are telegrams secret 1:1 chats still leaking to the cleartext network layer? Or did they finally use it on top of their custom transport encryption which is also known to have flaws? Even if they fixed it by now there are no e2ee group chats so there simply is no reasonable comparison to Signal and other messengers who offer pervasive e2ee automatically.
