The words 'mass surveillance' in the project title seem to me sensationalist. From his repository list, I suppose the author is involved in ads and marketing, which would figure.
Had I parsed Usenet feeds into a relational database, and called it 'mass surveillance', I'd have rightly been ridiculed.
Regardless, it can be useful to have message data in this format.
- riter 7y agoI simply was not aware of Pyrogram, thank you for sharing that and pointing it out. And yes, I admit the headline is a bit charged and its implementation does not reflect it as much as I would like. It does not change the fact that I researched an implementation of Telethon for a use case I needed, and I didn't find it so I made it and shared it. My involvement in ads and marketing had nothing to do with that. It's less nefarious, it just sounded cooler and was an innocent mistake in retrospect. As mentioned above, I appreciate the mod(s) for taking the time and energy to edit the title so it reflected the implementation. This is my first shared project on HN and I am excited to finally participate and see the feedback/energy. Thank you guys/gals!
