Apart from the encryption, how exactly does it suck?
The terrorists and child pornographers tend to stink the place up pretty bad.
"Terrorists" is such an interesting word.
As in - invading Iraq wasn't terrorist apparently. 15 years ago from the news it seemed to have produced a backlog of war crimes to be investigated for like half a century (maybe exaggerating), but in fact the investigations stopped as soon as public attention got saturated.
I've heard the Artsakh Defense Army being called "bandits" and "terrorists", and they are all my brothers (if they want that).
Still, to those "terrorist" bros who really use it I'd advise to move asap to something which is not snake oil. Again, Signal, or DeltaChat, or whatever else they find, just should do some research.
I was talking about drug cartels, Neo-Nazis, and Islamic extremists, not your "bros".
No other religions, huh? Just islam? Very telling. Nothing to say about christian/hindu/zionist terror...
Enough with the bad faith semantic arguments, we're talking about groups that organize at scale on Telegram. ISIS heavily recruits and organizes on Telegram, that's why I brought up Islamic extremism.
Any campaign of extremist violence, regardless of ideology, is a problem. Now kindly back off unless you have something of substance to say.
Yeah it always strikes me how religious extremism is framed. You rarely hear about christian extremists, who operate in the open on all social networks.
Yet, you could argue that Christian extremists have done more harm to western societies in the last 20 years than any Islamic group.
Some of those are better people than their enemies too. All of them sometimes.
It's a real problem that guerillas use insecure means of communication. They are an important component of our world's stability. A counterweight, so to say.
You think Neo-Nazis are better than their enemies?
Sometimes. Though the enemies are arguably Nazis too in the example that came to my head.
Nelson Mandela was also considered a terrorist till 2008
