Search on Telegram is more powerful than in other messaging apps because it allows users to find public channels and bots. Unfortunately, this feature has been abused by people who violated our Terms of Service to sell illegal goods.
To further deter criminals from abusing Telegram Search, we have updated our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, ensuring they are consistent across the world. We’ve made it clear that the IP addresses and phone numbers of those who violate our rules can be disclosed to relevant authorities in response to valid legal requests.
Honestly that isn’t bad. They were knowingly protecting people who target children.
Privacy should be enforced on a technical level with zero knowledge
They can take down the child weirdos and human traffickers
Take down my rom emulation hosted ZIPs and we’ll fucking riot
“Protecting the children” is always the excuse for fascism, pay attention.
It has nothing to do with fascism. Fascism is what left leaning politicians call people they don’t agree with. On the right they call people they don’t like communists.
Outside of that mini rant I disagree with the idea that Telegram is a force for good. Telegram doesn’t use e2ee and has questionable ties. They let people in public group chats post CSAM and other child abuse related stuff. If you look up telegram in the news it is constantly the platform used by criminals. It isn’t private and it sure isn’t anonymous. There are many better alternatives that don’t actively support human trafficking and such. Its not like Telegram has zero knowledge of what happens. They knowingly allowed people to exploit children and then to go around bragging and plotting to harm others.
This isn’t some attack on freedom or privacy. Telegram is frankly a risk to all. If you want encrypted messaging there are many other platforms that are way less sketchy.
Time to close all the fascist schools and put the kids back in factories as Marx intended.
Damn, are you Bob Hoskins? Cause you could easily play a live action Mario with that leap.
You seem to have made what’s known as a converse error in your logic:
The person you replied to said that
All fascist ideologies will use the argument of “Protecting the children”
You seem to have mistakingly confused that with the false claim
All arguments that use “Protecting the children” are made by fascist ideologies
And as such you have responded to a statement the commenter never made.
And equivalent mistake would be claim that since every time it rains it is cloudy, therefore whenever it is cloudy it is always raining. Honestly logical errors happen for everyone, I hope this helps.
