The crime is not responding to authorities when obviously illegal content such as CSAM is posted. Don't let the right try to spin this as a free speech thing. It's not.
Other encrypted platforms: we have no data so we can't turn over data
Telegram: we collect it all. No you can't know who is posting child abuse content
Wait, telegram has collected it, knows about and, ultimately condones it? Or is it more of a wilful ignorance and resistance to forced compliance?
It's definitely not willfully ignorance given they collect the data.
It's clearly wrong. Matrix does have non-encrypted channels and honestly most of publicly accessible channels are non-encrypted. Do you consider matrix also on the Dame "bucket" as telegram? In matrix you can created encrypted channels but they work very badly in terms of performance with huge number of people like 1000+
Matrix isnt a corpo shill singularity. Its a large amount of home servers talking to each other. This is like comparing the concept of email to being the same as telegram. You could target AOL, or Yahoo, ProtonMail, Google and on and on and on, but just saying "Matrix" isnt correct for this argument.
Most of the matrix users use matrix central homeserver so it's valid argument
Doesnt change the fact that Matrix is not a single company.
This.
We still don't have a legal definition of "hate speech". Yes it's defined it is what it is, you can't find any international legal definition and it's left to the interpretation of judges. Don't you consider it worrying?
About crime, as far as I know, child abuse and sex content is taken down. Drugs not - there are many countries with very lax drugs policies.
I didn't comment on hate speech. I commented on CSAM, which the sources I've read and listened to (podcasts) say Telegram pretty much never answered when contacted.
Well, I didn't see child pornography on telegram but I saw sex channels being removed. Comparing to Instagram, I didn't see happening this on Instagram. Minor soft pornography is flourishing on Instagram. CSAM or terrorism is always a case brought up to take some unpopular things down
I'll concede this point.
