@evacide@hachyderm.io It gets a bit worse, Telegram has a long-standing relationship with a Saudi organization that's essentially a govt arm in Riyadh, working in direct partnership to analyze and monitor an obscene amount of user data: https://www.saudigazette.com.sa/article/641746/SAUDI-ARABIA/Etidal-Telegram-remove-over-16-million-extremist-contents-in-early-2024
They claim this only targets terrorist groups. I can verify that it absolutely impacts groups run by queer communities in the Gulf, because I was in one such group that was monitored and shut down by Etidal.
Telegram can fuck off into the sunset.
I agree with his point on this post so when I saw your comment I went “let’s see what the fuss is about.” Jesus Christ. Some of those comments are wild.
Quick check of the post history shows nothing but vitriol and unrealistically black and white thinking. Classic signs of depression.
I hope things get better for you, but in the meantime you’re an easy block.
