Librem 5 – A Security and Privacy Focused Phone – Purism

Why not use Wire, Telegram, WhatsApp, or Signal?

Matrix is the proper solution and that is why we have partnered with them.

Ok, they explain very well the doubts I have about Telegram and Signal.

It is easy to tell lie with statistics, yet there is no better way to descirbe the truth
