Now that's easy to answer: * Signal refuses connections from forked clients like LibreSignal, i.e. might be "open source", but is not "open". * Threema is no free software (not even open source) and hence can't be trusted anyway. But Telegram has issues, too: * The server-side code is not open source. * End to end is not default and also cumbersome, because it's device to device, not user to user.
