I was referring to criminal activities with the shady stuff. Thankfully I haven't come across cp on telegram, but I know for a fact that there's drug deals and refund services there. I wouldn't be surprised if it also helped human trafficking cases.

I don't care about people buying drugs or scamming amazon, but at the same time I can't support telegram helping all these malicious actors (whether its petty crime, cp, neonazis, etc) just because it can also be useful to leftists. Its scale and easy of use has something offputting, at least to me. We should also remember that it's not some tool that was gifted to the left, it's just an app made by a capitalist that acquired French citizenship.

My thoughts are also incomplete because taken to the extreme you just have to ban all encryption, which is something I'm against, so I don't really know what can really be done.
