It’s been a difficult few days I’m not going to lie.

My colleagues want Telegram completely shut down in every country due to online child safety concerns such as CSAM. It’s been a little bit difficult for me to constantly be the one who risks my career to say that survivors also deserve digital privacy rights and strong encryption as well as every human on planet earth.

Telegram can be removed but as a society and as survivor advocates we won’t have addressed the root causes of the abuse and so the problem will continue, unfortunately.

The precious time that is being spent attacking Telegram would have been better spent educating the youth and parents about online safety. This would have worked towards preventing these crimes before they happen and end up online in the first place. 💔

I’ve always thought a significant problem isn’t Telegram.. or social media in general but naivety of parents with respect to kids on the internet. Even when I used CompuServe (paid online service) kids would use their parents accounts and of course being a pay service we always thought it was at...

It is sad to see people being such blatant, distopian despots, especially when they think they are doing evil for a good cause. Evil has such a hold on the minds of people that they think they would be doing good by attacking every human in earth. It is hard to understand because I'm not low intelli...

Shutting down Telegram feels like cops showing off seized drugs. All for show, really. We've been slow and steady introducing our teen to the internet and smartphones. Still pretty locked down, but it lets us keep having those important discussions. It's not easy, but she admits she's not dealing w...

Sounds like a terrible job. Easy solution, tell them Macron is a pedo and quit.
