terming 5G “fancy city tech” is more than a little harsh. 5G was never meant to exist on its own - it solves a lot of density issues exactly because of its limited range

that’s… not a great argument though… plenty of people didn’t think their phones were missing anything and then the iphone came along

this has the same logic as saying npm install takes a while so just don’t use libraries

what.cd was a bigger loss than just privacy - what.cd was an enormous loss to preservation of music history

the amount of content that has simply never been available for purchase was incredible, and made available in one of the cleanest and most comprehensively complete taxonomies was amazing

oracles lawyers are pretty bad too

that’s only partly true:

economically liberal indeed means free markets and capitalism (this is why the australian conservative party is called the Liberal party)

however liberalism as a whole includes individual rights like human and civil rights, secularism, etc (this is what the US tends to define as liberal)

it’s an overloaded and imperfect term for our current global political cultures

similar applies to left and right wing:

the left are supporters of change and generally change that supports less fortunate and leads to less social hierarchy

what both these things have in common is that liberal and left wing are about change and new ideas, whilst conservative and right wing are about maintaining the status quo (or as is more currently the case, regressing to a previous status quo)

this is the slippery slope fallacy… “where does it stop” is not a valid argument to not start

if a govt seizes a device and discovers channel IDs to be taken down, i’m sure than signal would do so - there have been no arrest warrants, after all… however, the problem is also significantly smaller for signal because signal can’t have enormous broadcast groups

it’s kinda irrelevant what it is - you have to comply with police orders to moderate your platform… if this were musk and x lemmy would be cheering on the arrest! no matter who you are, you don’t shouldn’t get to just break the law

and you’re right CSAM is frequently used as an excuse, and no i don’t have evidence - that would require actually looking for said content, which i have no inclination to do. the only information i have is that multiple independent news outlets have referenced telegram for years - not proof, but a more convincing argument than simply denial - because let’s not kid ourselves, unless you’ve gone looking for that content, you’ve got no proof against it either (and even if you didn’t find it, that’s no guarantee either - it’s unlikely easy to find)

breakable for the NSA doesn’t mean the police have access

also the current issue is with moderation: telegram is refusing to take down CSAM channels etc

and this is called the slippery slope fallacy and is either a flaw in your logic or a way of arguing in bad faith. either way, it’s just fearmongering. if that’s all you’ve got then i have nothing more to say

if metas monolopoloy is literally the only thing you care about, but replacing a terrible platform with another platform that lacks privacy protections is not much of an upgrade

you think they’re going to link to still available (that’s the point - they’re still available) sources of CSAM?

if that’s your burden of proof then buddy i’m sorry to say there’s no way anyone’s going to convince you, and that’s not a good thing

that’s an entirely separate concern to f-droid

we don’t disagree about that: governments don’t like that telegram doesn’t cooperate; that’s not in dispute

where the disagreement comes is the part after. telegram (and indeed meta, google, etc) have that data at their disposal. when served with a legal notice to provide information to authorities or shut down illegal behaviour on their platforms, they comply - sometimes that’s a bad thing if the government is overreaching, but sometimes it’s also a good thing (in the case of CSAM and other serious crimes)

there are plenty of clear cut examples of where telegram should shut down channels - CSAM etc… that’s what this arrest was about; the rest is academic

that’s correct - the issue here is that he has full access to the information that investigators are requesting and is simply refusing to comply with requests

this isn’t shit like a conversation you had with a friend about weed - this is CSAM and drug trafficking

free speech can be good. free speech can also be bad. overall, it’s more good than bad however society seems to agree that free speech has limits - you can’t defame someone, for example

free speech absolutism is fucking dumb; just like most other absolutist stances

this also isn’t even about free speech - this is about someone having access to information requested by investigators to solve crimes, and then refusing to give that information

they have apks

the kernel has parts being rewritten in rust afaik so perhaps there’s less resistance than you think

and fewer to none of those allow you to submit kmesg and “debug information” to the kernel bug tracker
