 So if the Owner of a plattform is from Russia the plattform belongs to Putin? 
So Threema belongs to Viola Amherd ? 🤔

 That's not enough proof for me.
A US Media writes a bad article about a russian guy.
That happens all day. America wants to destroy other messenger because they want the people to use there messenger.
That didn´t mean that i fully trust Durov.

On the other hand threema is not open source, so for me also not trustful.
We need a fully foss messenger protocol without a company behind it. Only when there is no one they can put in jail they don´t have a chance to beat a messenger down.

So i think we need a real good and safe messenger protocol inside of Nostr. 
 Telegram Servers are in Russia!

That is enough to NOT use this Putin Shit!

 You are not wrong on this, but it is not the right way to use another Platform which is also in the hand of a company and the goverment of the company country.
Would i personaly trust swiss more then russia? Of course!
But the best solution is to don´t have to trust anyone. 
That is why Bitcoin is the only useful money and Nostr the only useful "social media" or also messenger. 

The apps from Threema are open source, which in the end means nothing.
I do trust threema more then most of the other messenger, but it is still in the hand of a company which can be controled by the goverment and the server code is not open source, so i would never completly trust them. 
It also happend to proton, that they have to control a few of there users because the swiss goverment wanted this.

No Company = no trust problems.
It is easy 
 Yes, because if he doesn't do what Putin demands, his ass will be jailed or worse. That's the problem with having any CEO or single point of failure.  
 Who? 
He didn´t live in russia.
On the other hand Zuck and Whittaker live in america.

But yes absolutly, we need a protocol for this problems, not a platform.
I guess Nostr will fix this. 
 The company and employees are based in Russia. And those assets can be seized by Russia at any moment. Zuck and any other American CEO is ultimately at the behest of the American Gov and can't deviate from orders either. 

And yes, faceless open source software like bitcoin, nostr are how we will fix this.  
 Your link recommends Threema but also Signal Wire & Session (and is ambivalent about SimpleX)

And I don't see the numerical ratings you gave 
 Reading educates! 
 There’s no 100% anonymous nowhere on the internet,or using apps trough the big techs platforms! 100% safe is just that never has been connected on the internet! Sorry  ! 🫠😎⚡️
