Is using an Matrix account from matrix.org private and secure enough to talk with my family members and people in general?

So, I was told to not use Signal, so all that is left is Matrix. And I am not techy enough to have my own server and neither are my relatives, so Matrix.org is the only option

telegram has a lot of illegal stuff on it. Plus the ceo has been caught and this way, the whole thing was compromised

your data can land at french police, who caught Pavel Durov. i only use telegram to track custom rom updates, for that it is fine. but don’t use it for private conversations

That is a shame, but still not a big surprise. In comparison Apple has been sharing all kind of iPhone push notifications with the US government. I guess no other app will save your privacy from gvt. iPhone notifications to US gvt.
