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.

    The privacy policy doesn’t matter if no data is saved unencrypted or with no metatdata.

    The only thing Signal saves (which is proofed by a law case afaik) is the phone number and the account creation date.
