Personally, Signal. But I don’t have much reason to back it up other than Telegram being Russian.
Telegram is not Russian. The founder is a Russian - who left Russia about a decade ago after being pushed out of his local Facebook clone (VK) due to not complying with government requests. They nowadays mostly seem to be in Dubai, but as a legal entity hard to locate due to a cat and mouse game they're playing to avoid being reachable for authorities worldwide who want to enforce local laws.
But their main office in st Petersburg (russia) lol
not that it matters (see my other comment in this thread), but, citation needed? wikipedia says it is maybe in Dubai.
