Who cares?
This is propaganda. Intended to justify shutting it down.
Why not talk about what’s actually important. Like genocide victims using it to tell their stories. Citizenry using it to organize when their oppressive govts shut down everything else.

Excuse me, this is the comments on Lemmy, no one read the article, they barely read the title before rushing here to spout off their captivating, brilliant opinion

Alright, let’s talk about the fact that freedom fighter Pavel Durov closed channels and bots of the Russian and Iranian opposition. You can’t do that and justify it by local laws of various dictatorships, and then allow child porn and other criminal activities while ignoring laws of democracies. He created himself an image of a good guy, but it’s all lie.

I think it’d be interesting to know how come an actual military is using Telegram for communication. Bizarre shit.

Ukraine uses it as a big propaganda chanel too. Do they also want to shut that down. Telegram is shit but all this recent talk seems very fishy to me.

Telegram might not be encrypted, but they’ve also spread their servers and content in multiple jurisdictions. And they don’t give in to law enforcement requests.
This is why Durov is being charged.
