Why do criminals use their own encrypted messaging platforms, instead of using any of the recommended apps? (www.europol.europa.eu)

Does that mean that other apps like signal for example have back doors?

Do criminals have a knowledge of exploits in the recommended messaging apps?

And talk with the dozens of people on it.

Could say the same on lemmy, a decentralized social network. But i guess a decentralized protocol for instant messaging is a no no for you
