Playing a bit of devil's advocate here: any of you used these channels? Could it be that they were just spreading misinformation like every country does at war? Any example of existing zionist Telegram channels?

Kind of hilarious how people in the west would always claims that the differentiating factor between them and countries like China was freedom of expression. Turns out what was really happening was that majority of people in the west were just swallowing their state propaganda uncritically, and there was no need for heavy handed censorship. Now that the state is losing control of the narrative heavy handed measures are promptly introduced.
As always, the west is no different from its adversaries, but people in the west are gullible enough to think they're special.
Yea, it’s called indexing, it’s well documented: https://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/display/document/obo-9780199756841/obo-9780199756841-0090.xml
The article is a month old but many users are reporting on new bans since yesterday.
Dont memeber states have a bunch of idiotic laws against speech?
Probably really easy to justify censorship against anything you want really...
You hurt the vulture's feelings when you called him out for eating that zebra when she was still alive!
Zionism has corrupted the West.
The West created Zionism. Zionism is a Western settler-colonialist project, as was the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and Nazi Germany, to name a few.
Been the case for a while. If anything this is more a symptom of the virus being (very slowly) expelled from Western consciousness.
I hope that's true.
The solution is to not use Telegram, and fuck the govs
how to miss the point entirely
Telegram is not a social for counter the censorship and be private, it's not good at all to use Telegram for this kind of messaging + with the arrest of Durov, it will even more difficult to counter govs when using Telegram
continuing to miss the point I see
Telegram is awful, but that's mainly because it is readily bent towards the interests of malicious state actors like we see here. This headline is produced by two things being bad, not just one.
This isn't a privacy issue.
Censorship and privacy are closely linked but you are right they are different subjects. Telegram blocking access to certain channels based on region overlaps into privacy territory for me but people are free to down vote the post if they disagree.
Most people in the security industries that I've ever known are keenly interested in privacy, for good reason. There is a reason certain protesting elements *cover their faces and it's not usually for nefarious reasons.
