LOL it's what I always suspected.
Guess what's the messaging app under attack by mass media? Telegram.
On Telegram there is near-to-zero censorship, it's where most important news propagate and you can start a e2e encrypted chat with a huge userbase.
And it has its own encryption protocol but people always scream "don't roll your own encryption!!!!" forgetting what Snowden actually revealed on encryption standards on the first place.
Let's leave the honeypots like Signal to fools.
