Meta casts a wide net with all their apps. Maybe someone deletes their Facebook app but still needs WhatsApp to communicate with family, for example. I love the idea of that app in particular "not looking at your messages" while it learns about all your out-of-app browsing behavior without your knowledge or consent.

Pavel Durov (CEO of Telegram) about the use of "the Gag order" in U.S against social media privacy in c/privacy

This is a Tucker Carlson puff piece converted to text. I was suspicious of the Telegram CEO before, but nobody goes on air with that millionaire unless their message has been fully approved.

Kevin Spacey. Wannabe compound leader Andrew Isker. And now Telegram CEO Pavel Durov sits beside them.

Matrix stores everything across redundant servers, with optional encryption (while some things like room names and ranks are never encrypted), while SimpleX uses encryption for everything.

Basically SimpleX is decentralized Signal.

I'm not sure why jump to mentioning it because it's lesser-known (and still not as feature-complete as Signal), but IIRC the lead developer may be of Russian heritage.
