The Telegram fanatics for some reason are unwilling to hear it but we'll say it again: the reason why we still have an Internet in 2024 is that all those services at least attempt some form of moderation.

With more or less success, sure, but they can at least say there is an attempt and they do take down stuff. Durov pretty much brags about not doing the bare minimum.

It's that simple.

Telegram allows to report illegal content to moderators. Jail those who saw the content but didn't report it.

I am sure all those claims in the media about "cooperating with terrorists" is just a lie.

Or Telegram is threat for current establishilment because of platform used for organising protests. It could be politically oriented like main purpose of DSA.

The internet of 2024 is much different than the internet of the 20th century.

It’s become centralized and controlled by the hands of the few.

This is not an improvement.
