A link preview vulnerability in Teams vs a backdoor for China. I choose the vulnerability!
At work we were briefed in detail by spy from CSIS to avoid Zoom. I trust the Canadian spy before a trust I company with CCP ties.
The only thing I can add from that briefing is avoid Zoom, Huawei and product from Facebook, use Telegram if you can and Teams or Google current messaging solution if you can't.

Why Telegram specifically? Wouldn't Signal be considered a more private/secure messenger?

As a daily user of Signal, it still has a long way to go before it can be considered a user-friendly cross-platform solution.

One of them can be fixed with a software update.

A vulnerability tends to get fixed quickly. A government backdoor not so much.
And vulnerabilities occur in all mainstream software.
So whats worse: a backdoor for China, or a giant hole for anyone interested?
I guess the latter gives us esual opportunity...
