Researching the Evolving Online Ecosystem: ISDglobal on #Telegram, #Discord & #Odysee: The aim is to identify & test research methodologies to monitor and analyse small, closed or hardly moderated platforms, providing evidence for the limitations & dilemmas encountered by researchers. The report also demonstrates how platforms can, whether deliberately or inadvertently, inhibit public interest research in several ways. https://www.isdglobal.org/isd-publications/researching-evolving-online-ecosystem-telegram-discord-odysee/

Offenbar gibt es gerade eine sehr aggressive Kampagne durch um Aktivist:innen dazu zu bringen, von #Signal nach #Telegram zu wechseln. Es wird unterstellt, dass Signal nicht sicher sei.

Telegram ist grundsätzlich NICHT vollständig verschlüsselt. Die Betreiber haben Zugriff auf die Inhalte aller Gruppen, Kanäle und normalen Chats, wenn nicht ausdrücklich der sichere Chat gewählt wurde.

There is a possible #Telegram #desktop #RCE being exploited in the wild right now. Some suggest it's on the #mozjpeg library. I have NOT analyzed the exploit myself nor confirmed the issue directly

As #Telegram's Popularity Soars, Is It 'A Spy In Every Ukrainian's Pocket'?

In #Ukraine, though, critics worry it spreads misinformation and facilitates illegal actions. Some accuse Telegram of ties to the Russian state and of contributing to its war effort. Ukraine's parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, has registered a bill that aims to regulate the workings of the platform. But it seems unlikely lawmakers will try to shut the popular application down altogether.

Telegram in 2020[1]:

> Q. Will you have ads?
> No.

Telegram in 2024[2]:

> Q. Will you have ads in my private chats and groups?
> No.

…but also:

> In 2021, Telegram launched Sponsored Messages – minimalist, privacy-conscious advertisements that can appear in certain public channels.

Hey, but at least they still promise not to sell your data, so that's fine. I'm sure they would never go back on this one. 🤡

💬 Telegram: social media giant or the new ‘dark web’? | FT

“Telegram is going to really struggle to find advertisers willing to associate their brands with the large amount of toxic content on the platform,” says the Integrity Institute’s Allen, noting that advertisers have pulled millions of dollars from Elon Musk’s X for similar reasons. “The lack of integrity of the platform severely limits [Telegram’s] revenue possibilities.”

#Telegram has blocked a number of official chatbots of #Ukraine, which Ukrainians use send data about the Russian occupiers to the Defense and Intelligence Forces. The Main Directorate of Intelligence confirmed the information.

The intelligence officers said that on April 28, the management of the Telegram platform "unreasonably blocked a number of official bots that opposed #Russia's military aggression against #Ukraine".

Apple removed #Telegram from App Store in China after demands from Beijing.

As I said, russian telegram can be easily blocked at the request of the government.

I’m not really feeling matrix (running a server seems… complicated) but I’m definitely interested in any and all alternatives to telegram or discord rn, especially if they have sticker support. Lay ‘em on me #telegram #alternatives

We use Telegram for our family messaging. Mainly because it works well between Android and iOS. How secure are our conversations? I've read the privacy policy some. I know Signal is more secure but is Telegram secure enough?

I prefer all the features of Telegram, plus I would need to convince my entire Family & Friends group to make the switch. Any rational, kind thoughts would be appreciated.

I really hope they open source it.
Since they are going for a fee-for-service model like Wordpress, I'm optimistic. This is key for breaking the network effects that companies rely on: .
