EU investigating if Telegram played down user numbers to avoid regulation
I know Telegram is good, because every Western government is trying to shut it down.
They primarily want it shut down because it has enabled citizen journalism that they can't control and that is a threat to status quo. Not because people can sell drugs, do money laundering, organize terrorism or share cp on there, that's just the excuse for it. Like it has been for every outreach against privacy and freedom of information.
Ukraine and palestine have probably been the main motivator for this push against telegram. Like Russians can share it's view of the war to almost a billion eye pairs. Western media and adjacent political power and institutions have awoken to the fact and find it untenable when they can't enforce media and information blockade on people. It's not even about the western population since telegram is much more popular in the third world that it's in the west.
Signal fans won't agree, but I do
Exactly what I thought.
Telegram is not a privacy respecting app regardless of what country tries to ban it, wether you like it or not
.ml of course
It isn't good unless you like CSAM and drugs
Even then it is still pretty bad as it is easy to identify people on Telegram
I like drugs. I guess I should install telegram. Do the dealers just populate themselves as a service or what?
Thanks, random netizen, for telling me about a method to obtain drugs of which I was unaware!
(Jk, it’s not popular enough here for that, but if it was.. I’d still just use signal ;) )
It makes it easy to identify people doing bad things. Task failed successfully.
