Forbidden telegram: discover alternatives beyond Whatsapp – 04/27/2023 – Tech

Telegram in Brazil went offline this Wednesday (26) by order of Justice. The measure responds to a request from the PF in investigations involving attacks on schools. When trying to send or receive messages, users are unable to connect.

A daily fine of BRL 1 million was also imposed if the application did not comply with a previous order to provide data to the authorities in charge of investigations.

Check out alternatives to Telegram besides Whatsapp:

signal

Signal is considered by experts to be the most privacy-protective. Without the possibility of screen capture and with strong cryptography, the messenger is widely used by activists and journalists due to the possibility of deleting content without traces.

twitter

The short text social network has the public conversation in its DNA, but it is possible to send direct and private messages to registered users.

LinkedIn

Like Twitter, LinkedIn wasn’t built especially for quick conversation. It is a network for contacts and professional publications, but it is possible to send messages to friends and membership in Brazil is high, so there is a chance of easily finding acquaintances on the network.

Discord

Discord is a platform for group activities like video games and discussions on different topics. It is possible to create meeting rooms and make video calls. The negative point is that he is still not so popular in Brazil, so it is more difficult to find close contacts.

Hangouts

Google’s Gmail chat has fallen into disuse in recent years with the possibility of making video calls through Meets, also from Google. However, as email is the most used by Brazilians, it is possible that your message beeps on the cell phone of someone you know.

TikTok

The short video network allows for the exchange of messages with friends, although the spaces are more dedicated to comments and public interactions. Very popular among young people in Brazil, the platform is not considered easy to use by those born before generation Z.
