Dunno if Signal and Telegram have the same problem. Ian. --- End quote --- Telegram have quite good control on such aspects of privacy. You can limit side-channel (calls) and online status with precise granularity (everybody, your contacts, nobody and exceptions) |

Whatsapp and Telegram user here, tested Signal for few months only, basically its still very crude stage compared to Telegram. Also with recent outage, surely it can not be relied on for important instant messaging app, maybe we should wait for a while like few months until all settled. |

Encrypted messaging or telephony is for those who have something to hide. |

I don't have anything to hide, I'm lucky enough live in one of the safer countries. I just object to the ever more intense and invasive marketing techniques which are now extending into deep personality modeling. Are we going to end up in a future where there is an AI model of your brain on a cloud computer somewhere :-) |
