This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Honestly, that title made me throw up in my mouth a little and the article made it worse.
Not everything needs to be moderated and fear mongering because terrorists are supposedly using certain social media doesn't help that much either.
If criminals can't use a certain platform due to moderation they can simply hop to some other platform.
This post is nothing more than "think of the children".
Rationalization for silencing people that OP disagrees with. Just call them "terrorists" and now it's moral.
OP would've been a member of the Blue Police.
Criminals use the www! It's time for moderation to get serious.
It does not work like this. At least, it should not.
Why can't we just better educate people on how to avoid online scams. Oh wait that wouldn't give the government an excuse to legislate another part of our lives into oblivion.
And it's funny how suddenly we are having all these terrorist problems it's like something else is causing it, but once again solving it probably doesn't benefit the government.
Where is telegram hosted/managed?
Honestly I doubt even delisting from the play/app stores will stop people from using it, at least on Android.
Please send me all the private messages of your phone so that I can moderate them. You're not a hypocrite, aren't you?
It's always from kbin.social, eh
Yep, I noticed too and I want to understand why ?
What is? I don't get what's going on here
The fool who's rampaging around in the thread here, who also happens to be OP
OP said something I disagree with, therefore all of kbin must be like him!
How childish. I don't see anyone assuming lemmy users are all tankies because they visited lemmygrad once.
Ah cool another kbin.social person lmao
Facebook is a CP paradise because of the way private groups are set up. Been a problem for years. Even with all the moderation. What do you expect the moderation will do in this instance?
Shitty medium crap is worse than telegram
The only time I see medium is links to blog type stuff.
I've seen telegram spam all across the internet, the list of platforms I haven't seen telegram spam on is basically the list of dead ones.
Exactly. Medium is just a joke because it's only people blabbering shit. It's just extra long tweets.
Not that comments on lemmy are any better, but they don't require linking to an external source for unsourced opinion pieces.
The only time I see medium is links to blog type stuff.
I'm so confused, what else do people expect to see on Medium, ads for sugary breakfast cereal?
Large popups that prevent me from reading the content
Ah, well, at least my article wasn't behind a paywall. I could have used write.as, but I felt like more people would see it on medium, and it didn't seem like a big difference.
Sounds right, I'd kike to know why this has been downvoted so much.
Totally agree that huge social media systems need to be understood as disproportionately affecting misinformation. I don't know anything about Telegram, though.
Are the pushback people fReEzE PeAChErs or something? Is Telegram just lovely? Dunno.
I'm part of a few Telegram channels full of highly progressive IRL friends and colleagues. I also know Telegram is full of channels dedicated to crypto shilling, liveleak-esque video and imagery, piracy chats, privacy chats, QAnon forums, etc etc. I used it to communicate with family when I was out of the country and didn't want to pay for roaming charges.
Telegram itself is just a piece of software. Telegram's community is wide and varied. Does it need moderation? Yeah probably. Who should be doing the moderating, not just of individual channels but of all the channels? Eh, I don't have a good answer to that.
