What can they get from end to end encrypted secret chats in telegram?
nothing. not even with Durov in custody.
That doesnt make me a supporter of Durov or telegram, just stating the facts.
Since you insist on discrediting Simplex while glorifying Signal, here are some more facts for u...
1. User Identification
Signal: Uses phone numbers and usernames for identification.
SimpleX: Does not use phone numbers or usernames. Instead, it generates randomized user IDs for each conversation, which are sent via QR code or link.
2. Server Control
Signal: Has a centralized server structure, with a single entity controlling the infrastructure.
SimpleX: Offers decentralized servers, allowing users to self-host or participate in public servers. However, SimpleX still controls which servers are integrated into the network.
3. Metadata Protection
Signal: Has a strong reputation for protecting metadata, but some users may still be concerned about the centralized architecture.
SimpleX: Touted as having stronger metadata protection due to its decentralized design and use of one-way queues to mitigate communication correlation.
4. Disappearing Messages
Signal: Offers disappearing messages (ephemeral messaging).
SimpleX: Does not have this feature.
5. Self-Hosting
Signal: Not designed for self-hosting.
SimpleX: Allows users to self-host servers, providing greater control over data and infrastructure.
6. Popularity
Signal: More widely recognized and used, with a larger user base.
SimpleX: A newer, less well-known application, but gaining popularity among privacy-conscious users.
Conclusion
Signal and SimpleX cater to different user needs and priorities. Signal’s centralized architecture and familiar UX make it a good choice for those already invested in the ecosystem. SimpleX, with its decentralized design and focus on metadata protection, appeals to users seeking greater control and anonymity. Ultimately, the choice between Signal and SimpleX depends on individual requirements and preferences regarding privacy, security, and usability.
