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! ✨

Here, this should be a lot of useful information as to why telegram is bad and why Signal is good: https://soatok.blog/2024/05/14/its-time-for-furries-to-stop-using-telegram/
