One person shits their pants, everyone has to wear diapers

Group punishments are bullshit

Edit: barely privacy related because everything you do in a Telegram group is visible to Telegram administrators and will be controlled through their international partnerships. They already self-censored in Indonesia.

yeah coming from India this doesn't surprise me.

Don’t use centralized tools that can easily be blocked. This would’ve been basically impossible if they used delta chat

They think telegram is the only way to do it. 🙄

They can block everyone? How? I mean a vpn would work, yeah?

Banned for cheating but banned for being used by scam centers. Naaa.

This happens around Africa once in a while. Kenya, Ghana, and a couple other counties will have a panic and just ban SMS messages, or internet, or Facebook nationally for a day because of one paranoid minister of education. Kenya did the same thing with Telegram not long ago.

Though... Who uses Telegram that isn't an idiot kid or Russian scammer?

Poor oligarch who has to feel sad that their nerwork is cut of 150M people. So gentle of them to defend this voices of thos who have to use something else now.
