The encryption is a red herring to distract from the truth: telegram is the only platform where views different from war profiteers can be expressed. You can't do it anywhere else: not on cnn, not bbc, not guardian, not bloomberg, ..., not fox news, not npr, not reddit, not medium, not in a french court that rubberstamps whatever overseas masters tell them.

- d0mine 2y agoIf you are a nobody, you can shout any nonsense there. It is an outrage machine: very useful for "divide & conquer" type of governance
- lxgr 2y agoIf Telegram only wanted to be a "free-speech maximalist-like" platform, they could have simply skipped all of the misinformation around also being a "secure and encrypted" instant messenger. The fact that they did all of that is precisely the reason why you'll find so many cryptographers and privacy advocates being very critical of it.
- worik 2y ago> telegram is the only platform where views different from war profiteers can be expressed That is a strong, wrong, statement For one thing, although I have my quibbles about the standard of journalism at The Guardian, I do not think for a micro second they are beholden to "war profiteers".
- squidbeak 2y agoOpposing Russia's belligerence and atrocities in Ukraine doesn't make you a war profiteer. Telegram footage from Russian channels has actually been key to understanding how obscenely common those outrages are.
