Potential conflicts of interest, no "smoking gun" as headline implies... Yet again.
Do I trust Telegram? No.
But there's less evidence of wrongdoing at the moment by orders of magnitude than WhatsApp, etc.
I do appreciate the conversation, but holy hell the same connect-the-dots is never made about WhatsApp. Makes me wonder who's pushing these stories.
Good journalism would cover the issues with all the mainstream comm systems.
The answer should be use signal that has been configured in a hardened way. Everything else can't be trusted. Hell even with signal if it's really sensitive Encode with pgp using their public key then send through signal then they decode using their private key.
Waiting for simplex to mature but yeah currently signal is the best
The founder of SimpleX unfortunately seems to be full MAGA. I don't want to touch that project with a 3 meter pole.
Matrix isn't doing too well either. Might be time to start a completely new project.
I don't do these purity tests. Simplex has better architecture over signal. So as long as that holds true, I will be moving my crew over there once apps are polished
