During my time as an amateur disinfo researcher I found that ALL the fascist groups are on Telegram. Also all the antivaxers, qanon nuts, maga, conspiracy theorists the lot. One big fash melting pot.
are they going to arrest Mark Zuckerberg?
GOD, I WISH!!!
But yeah, the charges just seem like an excuse because this happens on every platform, sometimes they get moderated fast and sometimes those groups/users can last months or years. Telegram’s support and moderation is abysmal, but I’ve seen accounts and groups get banned after I report them, but sending him to prision seems an overreaction or they are after something else.
So, instead of fixing the cesspool we just designate a place for them? Why not just going after the ones committing crimes and state that big public groups must have moderation for basic shit? (Like no death threats and that kind of “moderation”, not a "I don’t like your opinions)

Telegram needs to be shut down, years ago.
This is textbook fascism.
Also, furries. They like using the stickers.
And you think that’s only on Telegram, there’s also groups on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram… are they going to arrest Mark Zuckerberg?
If Telegram is shutdown today, those groups will move to other platforms, it could be also Lemmy.
Is not about ilegal activities, but privacy, you can have a private (E2EE) or one where governments watch all private messages.

Keep them bottled up at least
