Wow, I've never heard anything like that before (never used TG). Do you mind sharing what language that is? (or language family, ie. Germanic, Semitic, Sinitic etc.) Also, IIRC, the Taliban has used WhatsApp in official capacities.[0] Obviously IS and Taliban are not nearly the same, just thought it was worth mentioning. WhatsApp does not have the same public groups as TG so I guess you would have to already be in an IS adjacent WhatsApp group to get videos from them.

German The one I had in mind is a city-wide chat group with more than 2000 members in which people share stuff they want to give away or sell for cheap.

Telegram is the best way to get on the ground news or content, and what people in the area think, only filtered by that chat’s moderators which is basically limited to interpersonal problems Israel and IDF content is over there Palestinian and Hamas content is over there Ukrainian Russian All in separate feeds that you can just switch between Its been very useful for me as there is so much jargon and slang in other languages that their respective media (if said media company even exists) would never use, and with LLM’s translating I can ask and learn the context of those slang words and find more content from actual humans Whats irrelevant is how that helps the French case. Appeals to authority with authorities none of us would actually respect? We dont even know enough about the case, its one thing to arrest the CEO for a platform, its another to arrest an individual for involvement in something salacious and we dont know at all yet.

When I search by „kaufen“ (buy in German), half of the results I get is related to stolen credit cards. Just now it took me two minutes to find several accounts selling drugs without prior knowledge how to do it. This sounds pretty much like absence of moderation.
