The other day, someone was trying to explain to me how telegram is being used for people looking for privacy and security. 😂
Yup....i remembered back in old days Telegram advertised as High Privacy & High Security chat app
Signal is getting better. Maybe someday they'll support Telegram's features like pinning messages and large rooms. But they are a good alternative already if all you want to do is chat and share memes.
If somebody has it, somebody can give it away.
Common Telegram L
Why common? Just a shady track record?
Shitty criminals shouldn't be protected, end of story.
Ahh yes, the "i have nothing to hide why do I need privacy" argument.
Do you close your curtains or lower the blinds? Lock your front door? You must be a criminal.
I guarantee you do something that's illegal somewhere regularly.
Yeah, I pirate. Biiiiiiiig fucking deal!
But am I fucking going around on Telegram in child abuse or trafficking rings or some other shit? Am I part of the child pornography ring or some other shit? Get the fuck real, you moron.
Ooh, that's spicier than even I meant. It's illegal to drink in Saudi, it's illegal to criticise Kim Jung Un in NK.
They absolutely could ruin your life for that shit if they wanted.
Thats literally why the bill of rights and due process exist. Legally and constitutionally everyone has a right to privacy and due process.
Not criminals. You're trolling.
Yes, thats literally why due process exists. Its also why the court system is innocent until proven guilty and eveyone has a right to a lawyer.
Criminals have rights too. And I think it's sus that you went straight to child porn and trafficking. Most people just used it for drugs.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
