You are the one making up a fantasy scenario to satisfy your authotarian urges.
This is the standard excuse for authoritarian governments. Use a crime category no one can object to.
there are plenty of clear cut examples of where telegram should shut down channels - CSAM etc… that’s what this arrest was about; the rest is academic
Was it? The French authorities did not provide any convincing evidence, just accusations.
This is pure nonsense.
Western governments hate Telegram because until now Telegram didn’t cooperate with Western intelligence services like American social media companies do. Everything on Meta or Google gets fed into NSA, but Telegram has been uncooperative.
This will likely change after Durov’s arrest, but it was nice while it lasted.
offffff. less than 200 players
Free speech is good. Government regulated speech is bad.
Well, except Telegram isn’t a good tool for privacy.
If Telegram wasn’t good for privacy, Western governments would not be trying to shut it down.
E2EE is nice, but doesn’t matter if the government can just sieze or hack your phone. Much better to use non-Western social media and messaging apps.
They also allow known criminal activity to thrive.
Most scammers I have seen are operating out of Facebook or Instagram.
I know Telegram is good, because every Western government is trying to shut it down.
Joe Biden is a mass murderer. We will never forget, never forgive.
Nobody is coming after Signal because nobody uses Signal. Telegram has a user base of almost 1 billion.
Those clients exist despite Signal Foundation, not because they encourage community development. They are doing everything they can to discourage third party app development.
Telegram is available on F-Droid. Signal is not. Whatever is Signal doing, it’s pretty bad.
Signal’s hostility to third party clients is a huge red flag.
They also refuse to distance themselves from Google’s app store.
You are the fascist who we should not tolerate.
Telegram is used by almost 1 billion people. Yet you want to shut it down because of political disagreement with what some of those people say.
Signal had long periods of blackouts when they did not publish server side code. Calling Signal open source is really a stretch.
there is probably french word for that
The fact that Signal has not run into legal trouble when Telegram has.
Also Signal has some really shady practices, such as rejecting and killing all third party clients.
This is nonsense. All internet communication is encrpyted these days.
nice!
