At various times, most social media platforms have received criticism for alleged failure to prevent distribution of copyright-infringing content. Few, however, have been threatened with widespread blocking more often than Telegram. In a row that seemed ready to boil over last year, Telegram was given an ultimatum by the Malaysian government; come to the negotiating table or face the consequences. A Malaysian minister now says that Telegram is ready to fight piracy.

    The alternative is sitting down, having a talk, drinking some tea and talking about our differences.

    You really don't understand that the things you say have meanings, do you?

      I never said I don't mind them, and I also never said I'd join them. I'm just suggesting we keep the conversation going and settle things with words rather than violence. It's difficult to have a conversation when you are unable to understand a point someone is making. Not saying you should agree at all. It's fair to have a difference of opinion. But you just misrepresent what I'm saying, that doesn't really lead to an interesting conversation in my opinion, so I'm out.
