“Signal’s duplicity is not news. It’s been known for years.”

What’s duplicitous about Signal? Or are you making stuff up again, like you did in your previous post #20:

“Then I read about Telegram and how it is also open source and distinguished itself as *true* end-to-end encrypted as opposed to Signal which was only *partially* encrypted in transmission between sender and receiver.”

Lies. As I already posted in #30, it’s the opposite.

“If I am using Signal the encryption is from client-server to server-client. “

Another lie.

“It’s not true end-to-end encryption, almost but not quite.”

Another lie.

Why do you keep telling falsehoods on this thread? Why don’t you list your sources from tech articles, like I did? Telegram is much less safe than Signal. See #30. I could list a dozen more articles saying the same. It’s not in dispute among security professionals.

Here’s another:

“Telegram does offer end-to-end encryption, but it’s optional and not the default setting for chats. Telegram messages get encrypted between you and the Telegram server, which means that technically it’s possible for the company to intercept your messages on its server.

“Signal was built with privacy in mind—and it shows. All the chats on Signal have end-to-end encryption between devices running the app, and the company that owns the application has zero access to your messages.”

Disagree? Post proof, from tech articles that evaluate encrypted messaging apps. You won’t find any because you’re wrong. Here, use this DDG search if you want. I’ve done the work foryou, just click the link:

Sorry to be so harsh, just sick of all the disinformation on FR. It’s an epidemic.
