All I want is a decent sms app, I don't even care about the politics other than the fact that someone this insane will obviously crash the platform in no time.
Telegram is by far the best and most secure. I'll offer two points of proof:
If you take the SANS forensics course, there's one brief paragraph on Telegram describing how they can't retrieve anything from it except maybe some pictures.
If they could get data from it, they wouldn't be banning it from the app stores.
Pavel built Telegram off the back of VK when he had his whole business taken from him by the government. He has designed it specifically to prevent that from ever happening to him again.

Where to next?
Just stick with Signal for now. When they make an invasive or idiotic change to their codebase you'll know. There will be a lot of pissed off people.
Heard good things about Threema, popular among Swiss and Europeans, but its a paid app.
I'd rather be the customer than the product.
Telegram?
Holy fuck, only someone like you can be fucking stupid enough to recommend an even more invasive messenger app.
