Telegram is a contender for secure messaging, but on principal I avoid it because they have they are closed-source and built their own encryption that we cannot audit. If the company is based in the US (or any other of the major western surveillance states, or China or Russia), then it's a very good bet that they've been backdoored. Especially being a US-based company, they definitely have secret orders to do this and not tell anyone.ĪNY US-based messenger is off the table because of that, actually. Facebook Messenger, and the popular WhatsApp that they acquired, might claim to have end-to-end encryption, but I'll eat my shoes if they don't have a copy of your encryption keys and decrypt and analyze all of your messages first.
Predictably, their claims are all bullshit. There are a lot of messenger apps out there for smartphones, all touting end-to-end encryption and privacy and blah blah blah.
