Personally, Signal. But I don’t have much reason to back it up other than Telegram being Russian.
Telegram is not Russian. The founder is a Russian - who left Russia about a decade ago after being pushed out of his local Facebook clone (VK) due to not complying with government requests. They nowadays mostly seem to be in Dubai, but as a legal entity hard to locate due to a cat and mouse game they're playing to avoid being reachable for authorities worldwide who want to enforce local laws.
Fair enough, thanks for the info
