It’s worse than that, the ‘find people nearby’ feature is a public drug and prostitution advertising billboard with zero moderation and has been for years. They’re in a closer position to silkroad than lavabit
- SSLy 2y agoI wish it was actual dealers and hookers, it's just spam bots.
- akho 2y agoFrom what I see in these threads, it mostly depends on whether your local police chooses to enforce drug laws.
- LtWorf 2y agoSo you mean telegram is a secure platform for drug dealers in areas where they can just go about in the streets and yell "I SELL DRUGS!"? Do we have any proof they aren't also doing that besides being on telegram and every other messenger?
- nom 2y agoWow I didn't know that feature even existed. Looks like it's full of bots though. I can imagine that makes it completely unusable for actual dealers.
- codedokode 2y agoWhile I heard about this feature I thought it was made to find friends or dates. What shows that the intended use is to faciliate drug trade? Also, in my country they usually just write the ordinary website name on the wall and add "VPN Tor" whatever that could mean. Maybe they try to hint that Tor and VPN are apps for drug trade? Do Tor and VPN have moderation and do they cooperate with law enforcement?
