 Carrier-based calls/texts that lack end-to-end encryption is at the wrong end of the spectrum.

 I agree.
I use an unplugged phone btw
If the other party isnt using one, Im back to the wrong end of the spectrum. 
Can I trust signal?
Can I trust telegram?
I dunno. 
Fortunately my privacy concerns are trivial and I just dont want big tech marketing me so not a huge deal to me but I hear ya

 Signal is end-to-end encrypted by default, Telegram only has optional secret chats for 1:1 chats. They can access most of the messages.
