I wouldn’t say USA has all the encryption keys, but the fact that it is actually possible to have a backdoor is reason enough for me to not use it. Signal complies with all search warrants, giving all the data they have to law enforcement. They have never given any data to law enforcement, because they do not have access to it. Telegrams approach is to simply to spread the data to several servers in different countries, so if law enforcement wanted access they’d have to submit requests to each country (some of which wouldn’t comply).

Hopefully you aren’t driving any buses while you’re this high.
It’s not never ending red flags. In fact, I see lots of green flags from signal. Telegram, though, that’s a different story.
