I don't know how much you have used Telegram, but it's ridden with absolutely vile stuff.
You open the "Telegram nearby" feature anywhere and it's full of people selling drugs and scams. When I mistyped something in the search bar I ended up in some ISIS propaganda channel (which was straight up calling for violence/terrorism). All of this on unencrypted public groups/channels ofc (I'm pretty sure it's the same with CP, although I'm afraid to check for obvious reasons).
I think there is a line between "protecting free speech" and being complicit in crime. This line has been crossed by Telegram.
I use it a lot, and I run some large groups on it. I don't see any of that stuff, I've never gone looking for it, and I'm not even sure how to look for it. Can you tell me some examples of what to search for to see what you're talking about?
it's not specific to anything but humans, which are ridden with vile stuff.
just turn off any discovery and suggestion features
