Signal has a fatal flaw, just like Telegram. ALL messages and metadata is connected to your phone number, which usually involves needing a government-issued ID to obtain. Burner phones are so much harder to utilize in 2022 than they were in 2002.

Signal and Telegram both expose information, whether intentionally or not, and being able to see everyone's phone number by-default on Signal, makes it less of a "private" space than Telegram in some ways.

I've used AOL IM, Skype, Yahoo! Messenger, FB Messenger, Instagram's DMs, Telegram, Signal, Session, and Alter, and the difference is in the details.

Who holds the data, holds control
