AFAIK Telegram is banned in a number of countries for the reason of being secure and not letting authorities monitor what people are messaging about.

That's not evidence that its encryption algorithm is well designed or secure.

[steevenwee]

it is circumstantial evidence. Isn't it should be a red flag if one messenger is prohibited in a country with an authoritarian regime, and the other is not?

I mean that's enough for my social messaging. If I'd need to transfer some top secret information, I would use neither of them.

That was before WhatsApp started using Signal protocol.

How whatsup using any protocol relevant to telegram being banned?
