Telegram is a breeding ground for extremists, scammers, and terrorists. It’s time for moderation to get serious. - eviltoast

    Please send me all the private messages of your phone so that I can moderate them. You’re not a hypocrite, aren’t you?

      No, my private messages are well-encrypted. But people voluntarily send their private messages to Telegram without e2ee and avail themselves of Telegram’s moderation, which they know it does. They just know that their crypto scams are profitable enough given how little of a fuck Telegram gives that they’re willing to put up with it. They know that sharing unlimited videos on private servers would cost money, and that money would mean less money to buy weapons with, so why not enjoy unlimited uploads and share them with half a billion people who think “yeah, that’s fine.”

          Why don’t you start with the messages people have already voluntarily given you?

          Anybody who has received the messages I’ve voluntarily sent them is free to do with those messages as they see fit. I certainly haven’t asked any of them to store large videos for me for free without input.
