Signal is providing usage data to Google, it is not anonymous, the messages sent are available for Google to decrypt at wish.

Telegram is open to Russian version of NSA, and the company that made it.

For me and you both, it doesnt matter, unless you work for NSA.

I didnt mean the messages are available to decrypt, that messages would hit GCM or that encryption methods are flawed or anything like that.

More like, Google has root on your phone so it can steal your private keys any time.
