Greetings!

A friend of mine wants to be more secure and private in light of recent events in the USA.

They originally told me they were going to use telegram, in which I explained how Telegram is considered compromised, and Signal is far more secure to use.

But they want more detailed explanations then what I provided verbally. Please help me explain things better to them! ✨

I am going to forward this thread to them, so they can see all your responses! And if you can, please cite!

Thank you! ✨

    With Signal, the key to encrypt your messages are on your device, and is never sent to the company.

    Signal, and anyone who hacks them, or governments that attack them, cannot read your messages. This has been proven in court.

    With Telegram, the key to encrypt your messages are on their server.

    Telegram, and anyone who hacks them, or governments that attack them, can read all of your messages. This has also been proven in court.
