- BurningPenguin 5y agoGenerally yes, but once certain people get violent or disobey specific rules, it is the job of the government to stop that. Otherwise things escalate badly.
- orbifold 5y agoSure but that doesn't include shutting down Telegram. It is easy enough to infiltrate those groups and keep them under surveillance. You can do very basic police work to counter act them.
- BurningPenguin 5y agoShutting down is the last resort. If Telegram wants to continue operation, they have to comply to the local laws. Infiltration also isn't as easy as it sounds. They can use that as a defense. Which actually happend several years ago. They failed to get rid of the NPD, a Neo-Nazi party, because they couldn't be sure if their plans were legit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Democratic_Party_of_Germany#2001%E2%80%932003_banning_attempt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Democratic_Party_of_G... Getting a company to obey the law is probably easier.
