Why Wire

My research was for the time being only in german, but to summarize it:

Wire↗︎

  • complete Open Source (incl. White Papers)
  • end-to-end encryption w/o exception
  • high encryption w/ Open Source standards
  • GDPR (DSVGO) conform
  • Server location in Europe

Telegram

  • only partially Open Source
  • only 1:1 communication/chats manually encrypted
  • encryption w/ own closed source code
  • not GDPR (DSVGO) conform
  • unknown Server locations
