Signal is offering the most accessible e2ee messenger right now.
Doesn’t matter. In the reach of EU, some law about Chat Control. If they make this into law, no provider within the EU will have a choice in this matter.

And the majority thinks this way for what reason?
Because “Fake News” and missinformation has been framded as a danger for our societies for a long time.
Telegram has been banned in Russia, as far as I heared.
If you don’t care for the guy, you will nearly certainly lose privat messaging in Europe. Maybe, it’s even too late by now.
Back in 2016, MS was advertising Customer Lockbox as an answer to gov’t intrusion into customer privacy.
Got it. Sorry for the missunderstanding.
I really wonder how long X aka Twitter can operate within the EU. The EU is on a smiliar tracetion in my opinion.
They famously jailed several Microsoft execs when they didn’t hand over some emails a few years ago.
And somehow, thats a good thing? To break the security of communication on demand of the gouverment?
That are good reasons.
But fighting corruption is not a goal I’m ready to pay any prize for.
I’m conflicted: on one hand, fuck telegram
Why this?
So much for free markets, democracy and freedom of speech.
I don’t know whether Spain cares a lot about “free market” at the moment.
Even if I get your point and would even make a similiar point in a privat conversation, there is still a problem. The problem, if and how the Freedom of Speech implies that you can use a certain service you choice. If this implication were true, would it not mean that the provider of the named service has a duty to provide you a access, too?
Yes, they blocked it because of copyright infringement but let’s face it, piracy should be viewed as a market option for people to get their content,
There are messenger out there, which are more privacy as Telegram. Eg. Signal, Threemea, mostly services based on XMPP and Matrix.
I’m a bit pessimistic about that point. It seems that the main reason why the Internet was less regulated than, lets say, the TV market was the lack of awareness of the old authorities and policymakers. At the latest with the victory of Donald Trump, things have changed. Now the ruling class is beginning to believe in the world-changing power of the flow of (mis)information on the Internet.
Its important to note that it doesn’t matter how you think about this changes in terms of ethics or politics. The mayor event was the change of mind in regards to the internet as such. Before, the internet was seen as something new, yet not understond and/or a place were young people does childish pranks. The innocence is over, at least in their eyes.Unimportant is the question whether you believe the the world-changing power of the internet yourself. Maybe, the idea is even false and the internet isn’t that important. But you have the regulation of it on the political agenda. It takes years to come to a better knowleade. Sometimes, even ages.
Yeah, I wouldn’t be too confident in Facebook’s implementation, and I certainly don’t believe that their interests are aligned with their users’.
I’m quite sure, they arn’t. This statement doesn’t mean that I think they have bad intention or something. It’s just, at least for me, obivious that the interest of the users and these of the companies are highly different. This is also the case with other companies and their customers.
Having access to the data means that they will be required by law to provide that data to governments in various circumstances.
A more paranoid person than myself would suspect that any big enough gouverment world simply force the companies to collect and share data.
The metadata problem is common to a lot of platforms.
From the viewpoint of the cooperations, this is a good deal. Enough privacy to keep people on the plattform and still enough data for advertisment.
I think, most likely, you overestimated the consideration of the majority. I may be wrong, though. Most opinion I read or heard about are more emotional drived.
