Don't give the keys to the government? Look you're under arrest! And we can press whatever charges we want against you, since it's just his users! CP? Done. Terrorism? Done. Drugs? Done. Murder-for-hire? Done. Dissidents? Done.
See the problem here? The foreign governments can stick whatever charges they want against you if you're not insulated from your own users (who you don't even know).
How about we drop the tinfoil hat?
Let's see:
- prosecutors bust a CP network, ask Telegram to ban more than 100 channels, Telegram does nothing
- prosecutors forward a notice to France ISPS to ban a list of channels, stupidly it ends with the t.me URL being filtered, and Telegram does nothing
- there is a warrant issued in the name of Durov for not responding to a request, what does he do, not a care in the world
Seriously stop making it so much about privacy when it's damn clear Telegram has a **** problem with everything!
There was no problem with it and then suddenly out of the blue when things get thought Telegram weirdly remembers it has a moderator team and out of the blue it deletes 12 000 channels containing child porn! Lol!!!!!!
Stop making heroes out of guys who don't give a rat's ass about your privacy and only about their money!
For two years a change in which high school girls were abused and beaten stayed online, there were hundreds of articles about it, and Telegram magically closed in 24 hours after a proposal on banning their domain from the SK prosecutors, magically!
