Signal and Telegram are growing rapidly in countries with corruption problems

January 23, 2018 by Paul Spoerry 23 Comments



Secure Messaging Apps Are Growing Faster in Corrupt Countries
Apptopia data determined secure messaging apps grew in MAU across the board in 2017, while “corrupt” countries grew even more.

Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp are the two most popular messaging apps in general. Privacy-focused encrypted alternatives like Signal and Telegram are both growing rapidly for those concerned about confidentiality or living in regimes where surveillance is all-encompassing.

It’s worth pointing out that Telegram has its origins in Russia and despite what people believe it is NOT open source. Its client-side code is open-source but the source code for recent versions is not always immediately published. Its server-side code is closed-source and proprietary.

Signal is developed by Open Whisper Systems. The clients are published as free and open-source software under the GPLv3 license. The server code is published under the AGPLv3 license.

About Paul Spoerry

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.

    There is no singular free and private Internet program anywhere.

    Unless you create it yourself, and has absolute and singular privy to it's components.

    Mια ψυχή
    σφυρίζει στον αγέρα
    ''Τωρα που είναι άνοιξη
    και τα λουλούδια ανθίζουν
    οι νύχτες με ζαλιζουνε…''

    Mακροσκοπικά δε δείχνει
    το πόσο σοβαρά''…

    Ισορρόπισαν τα νευρα (κάμερες τσιριδες)
    προσπαθώντας να χαλάσει τη περίφραξη
    μπουκάρωντας στο μαντρι
    Τωρα όπισθεν τέρμα Αραράτ
    Σεβαστά τα αντίποινα.. στο γύρω γύρω όλοι-εναντίον όλων
