Idgaf what anybody says but that man needs to be put behind bars. Our minds can't even comprehend the extent of illegal activities (fraud, terrorism, racism, Islamic extremism, gore content revenge porn + more) this creep facilitates on his platform. That platform is a global security thread. It enables hate speech and is inciting violence. Several terrorist attacks came into fruition thanks to this platform because it's harder to monitor for security. On top of that it has absolutely no content moderation. Elon Musk hopefully suffers the same fate with the trash cesspool of racism and bigotry that has become of "X".

I haven't used Telegram since it came out so long ago, but has it morphed into a type of social network or something?  I thought it was just a "secure" messaging app and you could set up secure group chats too.  I didn't know it was actually different than, say, WhatsApp or iMessage.

I havent used it but that app has built a reputation of being widely used by terrorists and criminals. It's basically a dark web extension at this point.

And the primary form of communication for both the Russian and Ukrainian armies, which makes this entire situation surreal and scary.

I do think he needs to charged for allowing these things to occurs on his platform on his watch BUT it is so convenient that they charge him and not Elon and Zuckerberg who have done the same thing. I mean Zuckerberg literally was found semi complicit in allowing the Australian white nationalist racist terrorist to live stream him killing Muslims in a mosque in Christchurch and then Elon for allowing all kinds of horrific things on twitter. This type of stuff needs to be applied all across the board. One by one I hope they charge them all.

Is there a way for Apple or Meta to know if that's happening on their encrypted messaging services too?  I get the hate for Telegram, but am sort of wondering how this will hold up in court unless Telegram was asked to hand over some information and didn't comply many times.  Otherwise they can just say "Why us and not them?".
