Telegram Has a Nazi Problem

I completely disagree. If the Christchurch terrorist shares a manifesto, and I want to read it, I don't need holier-than-thou types "protecting" me from it. The whole point of a democracy is the optimistic belief that in general most people can be trusted to make decisions and behave decently in society. If anything other apps and services have a free speech problem.

If telegram has a nazi problem, then telegram has a nazi problem.

When telegram, WhatsApp, Facebook, Google, tumblr, reddit, Instagram, and others have a nazi problem, then Humans have a nazi problem.

Yes yes, we get it. Social media platforms where users can’t be tracked or censored easily are a threat to the status quo.

So you get articles like this talking about the horrors of an extremist ideology and loosely connecting it to a platform that isn’t been brought under heel yet like Telegram.

All part of the next push for censorship and removal of rights now that a sympathetic ear is in the White House (at least I think he can still hear).

Can I guess the next headline? “Extremist far right activists share gun schematics via encryption. Should we pass laws outlawing encryption and guns? I mean, for the Nazis only at first!”
