Some people say it’s really privacy-giving and that you should use it as a privacy alternative. Others say it’s alao on the big tech side. What’s going on with telegram, really?

For messaging purpose WhatsApp (if not Signal) is better than Telegram as Telegram chats are not encrypted by default.
Wrong, we do not control WhatsApp. It fails to include a libre software license text file. Nothing secures our messages from WhatsApp.
Neither do we control Telegram. Both TG and WP are notorious. Even after Telegram client’s being open-sourced, no one stopped them from sharing user data to Indian Govt. I am not defending WP, but it at least has a mention that chats are by default E2E encrypted. That’s why I mentioned “if not Signal”.
At least Telegram might try to resist. Meta corporation offers your data to highest bidder preemptively
Wrong, ‘open source’ misses the point of libre software.
Ok, does that prove Telegram more privacy-oriented than WP? That is my point.
