Telegram is by default not end-to-end encrypted, it requires a phone number for sign-up and collects loads of metadata.

It does have one big flaw though; it requires a phone number for sign-up. The phone number can be hidden by creating a username and under privacy settings you can set the phone number to be visible to nobody. We recommend to only use this service if you are able to buy a sim card anonymously.<br>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/signal.org\/\">signal.org<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-90edb088 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-794e3cfa wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-3a88641f wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Briar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"33\" height=\"33\" src=\"https:\/\/tribeandtrain.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/briar.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-634\" style=\"width:30px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Briar is a completely decentralized instant messenger that uses the Tor-network. With Briar, communication via Bluetooth or Wifi is also possible. There are a few things to keep in mind with this platform though: there is no Apple and voice-call support and your phone doesn&#8217;t receive messages when it is turned off. <br>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/briarproject.org\/\">briarproject.org<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-90edb088 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">E-mail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">E-mail is not a secure method of communication. It uses very insecure protocols and therefore cannot be used with the discussion of sensitive information. The only way to communicate with e-mail in a secure manner is with an encryption tool like PGP. You can learn more about PGP by watching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wrGzSAcJdaE\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wrGzSAcJdaE\">this video<\/a>.<br><br>In the case you do need to use e-mail for communication we recommend the following e-mail providers:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-90edb088 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-794e3cfa wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-3a88641f wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Proton Mail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized has-custom-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"979\" height=\"785\" src=\"https:\/\/tribeandtrain.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/protonmail.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-642\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;object-fit:cover;width:30px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proton Mail is a Swiss based e-mail provider that has a free plan.
