Spike is seen after arrest of telegram CEO Pavel Durov in France in august
Good thing I never used telegram.
I use it for getting modded APKs
I don’t get it, everyone complained that telegram didn’t shared data with law enforcement, now everyone complains that telegram started sharing it
everyone complained that telegram didn’t shared data
Who complained? All I remember is that their crypto and security sucks and we should stop using it.
My complaint wasn’t sharing data with law enforcement. It was more about whether or not they should be moderating their platform and banning accounts that intentionally violate the policy. I don’t necessarily have a problem with them sharing information with the police when it’s warranted and there is a credible threat, because nobody should be using something to plan to bomb a restaurant or sports game. But the arguments that I have seen (and made) were pretty much “yeah, you shouldn’t be allowed to plan to kill people on this platform with no moderation, especially when the chats aren’t even encrypted”.
Even back when the CEO got arrested most of Lemmy was crying foul on that and a lot of comments I saw got downvoted for siding with the 'police state ".
Better, but still not great, because a lot of metadata gets collected even if the conversations themselves do not. Might I suggest SimpleX instead?
I actually tried SimpleX because of this person…
Oh, nice. Whatever works.
Only thing I use it for is bots. If they want to know when someone is in my foyer, that’s fine.
