@GossiTheDog literally everything I see in every channel is scams. If you told me there was CP channels, I would believe it

@smeg @GossiTheDog OH THERE WAS WORSE THAN THAT

I never stop hearing about Telegram groups exchanging illegal and disgusting content since I knew about the app in 2021.

I'm not even sure what that does mean to "moderate" a private-secured messaging service.

Are we really expecting every data exchange mechanism to be spyable?

@reeter @NullTheFool @smeg Telegram chats aren’t encrypted, unless using the secret chat feature (which almost nobody uses). People use the group channels, which are just regular plain text.

Let's start with a fact: you're spreading pedohysteria which is stupid and dangerous. All surveillance laws/attacks on net freedom/privacy were made under a disguise of "protecting poor children" in tyrannies and democracies alike. It so easy to catch simpletons with this bait. Second thing to consider: Telegram has obligatory phone number auth (in fact requires app to be installed ona phone to work) and requests location/network/phone access. If you were a pedo with more than 2 neural cells would you use it? No.

Telegram is a major platform for RU opposition (and state propaganda too, sure). Probably political forces in other countries use it too. RU state tried to shut it down, apparently unsuccessfully (or they came to an agreement). Still looks like a terrible precedent.
TOR, XMPP and Fedi* just will be the next.
