Interesting angle and some food for thought. I do think you shouldn't be as dismissive of critiques of Signal though. It's pretty well established (see Yasha Levine's work Surveillance Valley, as well as pieces in mainstream publications like Slate) that it had major CIA funding and that they have a backdoor on it. Makes your angle actually more compelling i.e. Telegram needed to be brought under US State control.
