@kkarhan I consider a service that actively, relentlessly misrepresents its security and encryption stance way worse and more harmful than a service that does not.

@signalapp @torproject

@rysiek Agreed.

Tho I'd say that @signalapp is just marginally less shit in execution AFAICT, not in concept tho...

@kkarhan I have criticized @signalapp publicly for a bunch of things.

But saying that Signal is "marginally" better than Telegram is simply wrong. Signal is leaps and bounds better than Telegram, in execution and in concept.

Telegram's concept is "let's implement just enough e2ee to be able to lie our way into pretending we're an e2ee IM, while being nothing of the sort."

They do this *on purpose*, knowing this puts people in harm's way.

Making any sort of equivalence here is not justified.
