      The thing with Telegram is that they do not cooperate with police. The founder was arrested for this reason.

      Yes, and on Signal I joined a general vegan chat room, and ended up getting added to a chat called “vegan CP”. I didn’t open it, just blocked it.

      Are there no moderators in these groups? I thought Matrix had a structure similar to Discord

    I’m not giving any opinion here, but just 2 posts away people are complaining about telegram giving up users to the authorities.

    Stuff like this will cost us Article 240, and will have to do “preemptive moderation” with AI tools…

    If this were true do you think they’d release this info without sitting on it and using it for a sting or two. I’m not in any way calling this BS, I’m just trying to reconcile that for myself before considering this further.

      I love conspiratorial thinking.
