So…there is a concerted campaign, with Musk as its mouthpiece, to discredit Signal and get people to switch to Telegram. It’s disinformation, but there’s also useful information in it. The useful information is that a hideous, powerful, right-wing crank — or whoever’s yanking his chain — really, really wants people to use Telegram.
We’ve long known Telegram’s security is weak. But now, in light of this new information, we should move forward assuming that Telegram is actively compromised.
I do see it weird but publishing on F-Droid means almost nothing. If you are scared of their pre-built apks, compile from source instead.
It means a ton to me and a lot others and no one has to compile from source every time .
