I doubt this because WhatsApp is Facebook.

FB is bad, but Telegram has managed to be even worse, which is quite the accomplishment. Their crypto is fundamentally unsound, and their business practices dubious and unethical. See the links I posted.

You might be right -- I don't use either of them, so my interest in precisely who's worse is limited. Your argument leads me to think that they both should be avoided. In any case, regardless of whether or not Telegram is OK, nobody should be using Facebook products.
