Telegram does not refuse take down content. I have reported scams, phishing, selling stolen credit cards and such to Telegram and they have all taken down. Maybe not in 24h, but still taken down. Also from your study: “Our investigation finds that large networks of accounts, purportedly operated by minors, are openly advertising SG-CSAM for sale on social media. Instagram has emerged as the primary platform for such networks, providing features that facilitate connections between buyers and sellers. Instagram's popularity and user-friendly interface make it a preferred option for these activities.”

Yes, it does. The Dutch government literally held a meeting on the topic of Telegram hosting reams of CP and revenge porn and not acting on any of their complaints for 2 years now.

  I reported a drug bot yesterday, and it's taken down already. It's weird that the Dutch government is ignored like that. I tried Googling (without knowing Dutch I found these: https://archive.is/dGp2w https://archive.is/dGp2w https://www.inhope.org/EN/articles/tackling-csam-hosting-in-the-netherlands https://www.inhope.org/EN/articles/tackling-csam-hosting-in-... ) and I guess the difference is that I'm talking about public bots/channels, and the problem lies with private chats / groups?

    >I reported a drug bot yesterday, and it's taken down already. Yes, random internet person. I believe what you say, and not totally making it up just to win an internet argument. I actually work in cybersecurity. I think I know how Telegram's support team reacts, which is not react at all.

      They must have blocked you for being rude :p Seriously though, I was trying to figure out what kind of reports get ignored vs acted upon (since THEY IGNORE ALL REPORTS is an obvious exaggeration). I’m sorry if it’s about winning internet arguments for you.
