    Signal is getting better. Maybe someday they’ll support Telegram’s features like pinning messages and large rooms. But they are a good alternative already if all you want to do is chat and share memes.

      Ahh yes, the “i have nothing to hide why do I need privacy” argument.

      Do you close your curtains or lower the blinds? Lock your front door? You must be a criminal.

          Ooh, that’s spicier than even I meant. It’s illegal to drink in Saudi, it’s illegal to criticise Kim Jung Un in NK.

          They absolutely could ruin your life for that shit if they wanted.

      Thats literally why the bill of rights and due process exist. Legally and constitutionally everyone has a right to privacy and due process.

          Criminals have rights too. And I think it’s sus that you went straight to child porn and trafficking. Most people just used it for drugs.

          Yes, thats literally why due process exists. Its also why the court system is innocent until proven guilty and eveyone has a right to a lawyer.
