Friends and Family?
But did actually anyone actually pirate your music? Like is your music on a torrent indexer or shared on a site specific to music?
I have heard from friends that they got banned for using adblockers on free Spotify.
My account got deactivated after doing that (firefox+ublock). It was really sneaky because my password just stopped working. My account was reactivated by contacting the support and they never told me the reason why my account got deactivated.
You seem to have really high standards around who you trust and in the same moment you call Telegram secure. I feel like you should atleast use the same amount of scepticism for Telegram that you use for Signal.
This might not be relevant because you have other reasons not to use Signal, but you can get android signal directly from their website and via aurora store (on fdroid)
Just use Signal if you want an easy, relatively privacy friendly and secure messenger.
Telegram hands over data to goverments, is infested with spammers and scammers and its encryption is not end to end for group chat which lets Telegram access those chats.
Edit: Telegram is great for lots of things like big groups, communities, piracy, drugs etc but its just not the place where you should expect secure communication.
On other platforms like Twitter and Mastodon the block functionality is pretty helpful. Using block lists improves the experience of those that get most often targeted tremendously.
How matrix with its end to end encryption giving my data to everyone???
Hey in another comment you mentioned being from Germany, so I think this might be relevant to you
Erstmals hat das Bundesinnenministerium (BMI) bestätigt, dass der Messengerdienst Telegram Nutzerdaten an deutsche Ermittlungsbehörden übermittelt hat
Of cource Bundesinnenministerium aka the police is not really the most trustworthy source, but I just wanted to mention that in case you and others did not know about that.
I judge people on plenty of things that are legal. You probably do it too
