Which of these two messaging apps better respects user privacy in 2026 and why? Considering Pavel Durov's French arrest in 2024 and Zuckerberg's multiple privacy-related scandals regarding Big Data farming, even though WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption by default, and normally it's just metadata recollection there.

If you have a better alternative in mind, for an everyday mobile messaging app meant for friends, family and business contacts, feel free to share it here. Thanks.

Have you never heard of signal? I assumed it was the default app besides WhatsApp nowadays

Wait... Zuckerberg owns WhatsApp? Ah fucking shit fucking fuck

neither are good. If you want max privacy use session, it runs your encrypted messages between 4 vpn locations before delivering it, is completely open source and free and has no government influence

If that is your goal, just use the app everyone else uses (most likely whatsapp is going to win but it depends on where you live).

Stop being a fag and just use Signal. It was created by the same guys as Whatsapp, but its properly good on security. Privacy, pretty good.

>>34595902
I'm the other signal anon but Mossad software in the sense that this FOSS project has got to have some backdoor that hasn't been detected by an LLM yet? I'm not gonna pretend to be one of the contributors but in terms of what I know, the technological foundation of session is much more shaky and Telegram straight up just relies on trust, which, I guess you can trust the Russians if you prefer that over hypothetical Mossad backdoors
