A lot of privacy guides suggest avoiding Telegram. I understand that in its default mode there’s no E2EE (and no E2EE for groups at all). If people I know don’t wanttko use Signal, isn’t Telegram the lesser evil given it’s nicer privacy policy (than other popular ones)?
Say I use the FOSS version of it.
If not the latter, how the former? Messages is and should be private data as well.
??? Channels are literally public by definition and viewable even without an account. That’s the whole point of channels. They’re more like blogs than messages.
