    [French media] said the investigation was focused on a lack of moderators on Telegram, and that police considered that this situation allowed criminal activity to go on undeterred on the messaging app.

    Europe defending its citizens against the tech giants, I’m sure.

      There’s a lot of really really dark shit on telegram that’s for sure, and it’s not like signal where they are just a provider. They do have control the content

          I don’t recall CP/gore being readily available on those platforms, it gets reported/removed pretty quickly.

                Can’t claim how valid any of that info is but confirms my bias

                A quick search will produce a lot reddit discussions on the topic too.

                FFS we had Catholic clerky raping children and our clown society just said Mehh that’s just how things be for the peasants

                  In your head in confirms what you want, because you’re biased. You just don’t know what “readily available” means. Can’t help you there. Your entire article makes my point…

                  The content on telegram is there almost indefinitely, and readily available. What youre sharing is almost instant bans, includes also reports to links of suspected activity, not the content directly.

                  Readily available means you don’t need to search. Y’all are on another level searching for this shit lmao.

                    You’re probably just not tapped into any of the informal networks that are spreading CP on those platforms.

            You’re young. It really was a thing. It never stayed up long, and they found ways to make it essentially instantaneous, but there was a time it was easy to find very unpleasant things on Facebook, whether you wanted to or not. Gore in specific was easy to run across at one point. CP, it was more offers to sell it.

            They fixed it, and it isn’t like that now, but it was a problem in the first year or two.

              And there are still informal networks of Pedos and other pests operating on these platforms to this day.

              Haha, young ? i wish. But go on making stuff up.

              So now it’s not that it’s readily available, it’s that it was in the beginning. So everyone is allowed to let CP go in the first years of their platform? Is that what youre going with. Eww

        Telegram does moderation of political content they don’t like.

        Also Telegram does have means to control whatever they want.

        And sometimes they also hide certain content from select regions.

        Thus - if they make such decisions, then apparently CP and such are in their interest. Maybe to collect information for blackmail by some special services (Durov went to France from Baku, and Azerbaijan is friendly with Israel, and Mossad is even suspected of being connected to Epstein operation), maybe just for profit.
