Telegram, an essential communication tool for millions, finds itself under scrutiny once again. Copyright holders have long expressed concerns about the lack of enforcement on the platform, and recent actions suggest Telegram is responding. Subscribers to Z-Library’s popular channel recently noticed that several of the shadow library’s messages have been removed “due to copyright infringement.”

Imagine using a messenger without meaningful end-to-end encryption and expecting privacy and no moderation forever.
Why anyone’s still using Telegram is beyond me…
Everyone uses WhatsApp these days.
How is that any better? It’s owned by fucking Facebook
Because…stickers! Everyone fucking loves stickers!
Oh oh! We can instantaneously share GIFs to eachother! Wooooooooow!
It’s like dangling plastic keys infront of an easily amused baby, these people.
It has a shiny chat interface and that’s all people care about 🤷
Next time use matrix.
When will people start using Signal or Matrix for this? Signal supports public, encrypted chat rooms and so does Matrix.
@onlinepersona I think I might start using Signal as well today.
Welcome, comrade.
you’re on a piracy community but you’re licensing your comments?
if you don’t respect other’s licences, why should they respect yours?
On the face of it, I appreciate that it looks funny, but the power dynamics are quite different. If I’m caught pirating, my ass could land in jail. If a company is caught pirating, it’s written off a business expense.
Would you find it as ridiculous if a slave whipped their owner? If the poor stole from the rich? If the weak took power from the powerful?
None of those examples have any relation to the ignorance of these licensing links.
What “ignorance”? The licensing link is added manually. I’ve read it.
Also what’s the point of being anti-ai when you’re already anti-cpyright?
The issue isn’t generative AI, its capitalism. The AI just makes it more efficient, or is at least supposed to.
I don’t believe you want a genuine answer. You’ve already made a decision, so no matter what I say, you won’t agree with it 🤷 There’s no need to continue.
Well that’s an assumption…
Almost as if context matters, huh? 🤷
What’s wrong with trying to prevent companies scrag your data? How is that antithetical to piracy?
Can’t you see the irony of licensing your comment on a piracy forum?
Not if I think about it for longer than a second. Anti-AI licensing is aimed at corporations. Piracy is done for individuals getting a product.
Exactly this.
Not gonna lie… That little link is funny to me.
Matrix sucks, it always loses some chat messages when the client is closed and sometimes it says something like “hey dude something is wrong with your session, log out and use your security key to get access again and don’t lose everything”.
Which client are you using and when was the last time you used it? I haven’t had those issues in about 3 years on Element.
Not who you replied to, but I’ve experienced it on both vanilla Element and on Schildichat over and over, as well as repeated logouts that require signin approval from one of my other active sessions.
That are on devices on different floors of the house, or even in different parts of the city.
Shit’s jankey as hell.
[Sincere] Would you like solutions to this or would you prefer not to use it?
I wouldn’t recommend Signal for privacy. It has quite a few concerning issues. There are some good alternatives however. I think Briar is good if privacy is your chief concern. Sam Bent compared some of the other alternatives in this video.
Fuck it’s starting
