Some people say it’s really privacy-giving and that you should use it as a privacy alternative. Others say it’s alao on the big tech side. What’s going on with telegram, really?

    Every text you send through Telegram is stored in plaintext. Telegram and authorities can access that without your knowledge. Also it will get leaked in a breach someday.

    Now you decide for yourself if it’s private.

      Woah, thanks.

      What should I use, then? Because, from what I seen, Signal is US hosted, and this isn’t very good to privacy.
