Oh in case you saw this being shared

#Telegram quietly updates FAQ, removing:

"All Telegram chats and group chats are private amongst their participants. We do not process any requests related to them."

But They lines now appear in response to a question about *copyright*, not illegal content.

Whether or not the actual rules have changed is unclear. These aren't the definitive rules, they're an telegram FAQ page.: this is at least a big change of emphasis though.

So annoying

You have to tap on this "semi-hidden" menu to show recent posts rather than relevant posts

On X when tapping a reply to a post it always shows relevant posts over recent posts wish it would keep the choice you pick for one for all

Pain in arse

Musk is gonna remove the mute & block options on #X

....

RIP

:(

So, now he is the savour to cats & ducks

I took a week "off-grid" it was delightful

#Telegram update: Friday 6th Sept: looks like Durov is taking responsibility - well in a kinda manchild way that is

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has broken his silence with a 600-word statement on his Telegram account that blames “growing pains that made it easier for criminals to abuse our platform.”

https://t.me/durov/342

While the vast majority of his statement paints his arrest as surprising and unfair

Tenet Media (known as "U.S. Company-1" in the indictment) is a right-leaning content creation company focusing on YouTube and social media. This company allegedly accepted $9.7 million dollars in funding from RT to parrot Russian talking points as directed by Kostiantyn Kalashnikov and Elena Afanassvia

The full indictment is here:

If a platform owner who boasts about having a user base in the hundreds of millions is not even trying to stop indecent images being shared on that platform by using methods available then refuses, ignores, legit requests from authorities when asked to help then shame on them

And they deserve all they get

Again this is not "breaking encryption" issue this is not "freedom of expression" or "free speech" issue its a moral issue and accountability issue

Snowdon, Musk & Rumble CEO, who has fled Europe 🙄 now scared hell be next cause he's a fuckwit thinking this is about Authorities just trying to gain access to ALL users data, and rest of people screaming "free speech" are in fact sating "we don't care this is about a paedophile and actually helping authorities secure a conviction"

Telegram has created a kind of jurisdictional obstacle course for law enforcement that (it says) none of them have successfully navigated so far. From the FAQ again

Update: #Telegram

Telegram boss and founder Pavel Durov has been placed under formal investigation in France as part of a probe into organised crime on the messaging app, Paris prosecutors say. - The Russian-born billionaire, who is also a French national, also has to show up at a French police station twice a week and is not allowed to leave French territory.

The court heard how it later emerged that the website – only accessible via the dark web – was a front for a lucrative scam.

"Children are being taken into care, through no fault of their own, because they are at risk but so often they are not being treated with stability and love"

More often than not they are in fact in unsafe environments that are called children's homes & residential schools - adults who are meant to be looking out for their best interests are not qualified to be doing that job more often than not these adults just don't care enough its just a job to them
