Telegram is no longer safe for piracy.

I bet they will start kicking out piracy channels in few weeks.

I am going to delete my account now as it will become useless soon anyway.

SimpleX chat.

Signal is probably the best option because it’s as easy to setup as Telegram and others.

Signal is unfortunately as vulnerable to this as Telegram is, as it is a fully centralized service so once the CEO is grabbed is Game Over. Something like jabber / XMPP would be better.

XMPP; an open protocol that can be as basic as IRC or extended to support everything Telegram does and more. Decentralised (since it’s a protocol), and E2EE through OMEMO or by encrypting with PGP client side is something your provider can’t even have control over.

They have bigger issues than piracy, e.g. csam, malware, and other criminal activity. But the age of no moderation whatsoever is over it seems.

Telegram published a statement on X/Twitter that they are not changing any policy. The just removed misleading line in their FAQ, that stated that you can’t report private chats (which you always could).

This is like when Republicans complain that Biden detained record numbers of border-crossers, and I’m like “Isn’t that what you guys want him to do?”.
