Not sure why Signal gets all the attention when Matrix is much more successful at spreading open source messaging and is also decentralized.

I would still much rather chat to people over whatsapp than telegram because at least whatsapp has E2EE by default.
@sexy_peach
Why do you think WhatsApp has E2EE? It’s a closed source app. There is nothing preventing Facebook from grabbing your keys.
@thervingi
Probably the fact that if news slipped out, it would have been (one of) the biggest scandles facebook has ever done, and I dont personally think its worth the risk for them.
That’s what NDA’s are for :) Facebook got away with a lot worse.
Also it might not be Facebook’s decision. It takes one national security letter from the FISA court to force them.
on Telegram they wouldn’t even have to grab your keys, they can just run data collection on all their users unnoticed, without breaking any promises.
I don’t get this Telegram hate. Why prefer Facebook over something that supports Linux and has open source clients.
Because it isn’t encrypted.
Neither is WhatsApp.
No it is, but it sucks too.
Facebook says WhatsApp is end to end encrypted, but give me one reason to believe anything Facebook says. Unless you show me code, I can assume it’s not.
Worst case it’s as bad as telegram
