> "While I am concerned about Telegram in general, it’s important to note that group chats there are not end-to-end encrypted. Neither are forwarded messages. So if Telegram or law enforcement authorities wanted to investigate the contents of a big group chat, they could do so, in theory. If Telegram does become the next misinformation hot spot, we won’t be helpless."
Notice the "we won't be helpless" - a clear inference that if information is published there that this person considers to be misinformation, they have an avenue to report it and get it censored.
And the whole tone of the article was clearly "the tech giants have agreed to censor the bad people, so now the bad people have fled to smaller apps where it's going to be harder to censor them". It's a discussion about how authorities can "stop the spread of disinformation" - you know, censor people.
