every encrypted messenger service is complicit in pedophelia apparently.
I mean yes but that’s like saying Bitcoin is used by criminals to buy drugs and weapons. The problem is that’s not their only use.
That’s like saying Voat isn’t only used by incel trolls who got banned from reddit

Removed by mod
No, every service provider must remove infringing content when reported. That is not the case on Telegram.
I dont think Telegram is something that I would call an “encrypted messenger”
i dont get this. it can be used as one. its being seen as criminal because of its ability to send encrypted messages. comments like this are meaningless.
Yeah and still we should not push the message that Telegrams encryption is even remotely close to other encrypted messengers. I met more than one person that somehow thought their messages in Telegram are “safer” than they are in WhatsApp (and they never activated the encrypted chat oprion in Telegram)
No ones pushing anything brother.
It’s going to be so over soon
This is no doubt retaliation for not handing over the encryption keys
Yeah, farewell Telegram. He should probably have stayed at home.
Fucking hell what now. We can’t use discord and now this. Theres a TG group I’m in that specifically releases Teknoparrot arcade dumps. SHIT
Matrix.
I’m talking about groups. I don’t believe matrix has those…not easily searchable anyway.
EDIT: Ooohh a shithead are we?
A shithead? I don’t know what you’re talking about. I enjoy Matrix.
Discord is banned in France?
Probably not, but discord is far worse. Not in functionality, before you say, but in everything else. While it’s questionable whether telegram is private in any level, with discord that’s not a question at all.
No discord bans pirate communities
What encryption keys?
France is fucking nuts
Summary: France “requesting” Telegram keys.
Summary: “we are no longer asking.”
But the act to put him on prison is a way to request the access for no longer asking. Depends on how much Pavel Durov can handle this torture.
Some significant news for Telegram users!
See this article for some interesting backstory context on Pavel Durov and Telegram: https://www.spiegel.de/international/world/the-telegram-billionaire-and-his-dark-empire-a-f27cb79f-86ae-48de-bdbd-8df604d07cc8
Since the post article is in French, here’s an auto-translation:
Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of the encrypted messaging service Telegram, was arrested around 8 p.m. on Saturday evening as he got off his private jet on the tarmac of Le Bourget airport. The 39-year-old Franco-Russian was accompanied by his bodyguard and a woman.
The arrest was carried out by the gendarmes of the GTA (Air Transport Gendarmerie). Registered in the RPF (wanted persons file), Pavel Durov came straight from Azerbaijan. He had over his head a French search warrant issued by the OFMIN of the National Directorate of the French Judicial Police, issued on the basis of a preliminary investigation.
Why was he under threat of a search warrant?
The Justice considers that the lack of moderation, cooperation with the police and the tools offered by Telegram (disposable number, cryptocurrencies, etc.) makes it complicit in drug trafficking, paedophile offences and fraud.
This search warrant ran if, and only if, Pavel Durov was on national territory. “He made a mistake tonight. We don’t know why… Was this flight just a step? In any case, he’s locked up!” a source close to the investigation told TF1/LCI. Since he knew he was persona non grata in France, Pavel Durov used to travel to the Emirates, the countries of the former USSR, South America… He travelled very little in Europe and avoided countries where Telegram is under surveillance.
And now?
Investigators from the ONAF (National Anti-Fraud Office attached to the Customs Directorate) notified him and placed him in police custody. He is expected to be presented to an investigating judge this Saturday evening before a possible indictment on Sunday for a multitude of offences: terrorism, drugs, complicity, fraud, money laundering, concealment, paedophile content…
“Pavel Durov will end up in pre-trial detention, that’s for sure,” comments an investigator to TF1/LCI. “On his platform, he allowed an incalculable number of misdemeanours and crimes to be committed for which he does nothing to moderate or cooperate,” said a source close to the case.
His pre-trial detention at the end of his indictment is indeed in no doubt. Pavel Durov, a billionaire, has substantial means to flee and his guarantees of representation will hardly convince the judges.
A net with international resonance
For the investigators, this international sweep has various objectives. First, it makes it possible to kick the anthill, impress and deter the perpetrators of crimes and offences who exchange, until now, freely on Telegram. Secondly, they aim to put pressure on European countries to step up joint work to make secure messaging on terrorist cases bend.
Indeed, Telegram is a hive of criminal content. At the moment, the platform is in the news with the illegal broadcasting of Ligue 1 matches. But on this encrypted messaging service, many accounts are used by organized crime. Beyond terrorism, the most dangerous pedophiles communicate on Telegram to exchange content. “It has become for years THE number 1 platform for organized crime,” comments an investigator.

This is pretty funny. The first example of crime is people posting dodgy links to football streams? They can’t be serious.
Piracy is the crime that impacts the billionaire’s wallet - of course it’s the most serious.

France is an oppressive country. Racism is so high there, especially against muslims which is indicative of their ideology and lack of respect for the individual’s right.
And men aren’t allowed to know if the child that came out of their wife is theirs
Just here too look at shits saying this is because racism jesus fucking christ
the only platform where Hamas could actually share official content, including combat footage kinos ;_; rather than made-up sites attributed to them.
