About

Telegram is a cloud-based messaging app for mobile and desktop platforms focused on security, speed, and privacy.

It provides voice and video calls, unlimited cloud storage for regular chats and media across devices, end-to-end encryption for Secret Chats, supports groups and channels with up to 200,000 members, and allows bots and mini-apps to extend functionality.

Truth Social is an American social media platform owned by Trump Media & Technology Group and primarily oriented toward conservative audiences.

It allows users to post text, images, and videos as "Truths", share "Re-Truths", is built on the open-source Mastodon software, and was designed to resemble Twitter, while promoting itself as a "free speech" alternative to mainstream social networks.
