Hi Evan

I'm an active user of signal and really appreciate this messenger can fully respect our data privacy. I just warned about the fact that maiN SIGNAL users are in Northern America and Europe, that a fact https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/signal-users-by-country

I confirm that Telegram is an open source messenger (https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop) and for python dev or many apps or content creator, we can use many API to connect tools, monitoring and manage large scale group.

yes we need to discuss more security or large adoption of a common tool. Maybe ICANN community can create a tread with Signal, Olvid and Discord. We can probably do it.

Just share my POV. I use many because i'm a cross community member. It's like this when you live in a small Caribbean islands and you mobilise to create a better internet for tomorrow.

Like many suggested, the idea of a task force group can be explored.

See you

Hi Betty,

Signal is a good social media for privacy but the users community is to small to act for multi-stakeholders interests.

Please elaborate.

I am using Signal in many, many different contexts and I do not understand your objection.

How does chat software "act for multi-stakeholder interests"?

Telegram is fine too but it's less secure and not open source.

To me it boils down to security and open source (Signal) versus global accessibility (Whatsapp).
