There are plenty of laws that require platforms to police publically accessible content. From SMS filters, ISPs are required to have, to CSAM reporting chat platforms like Discord have to do.

Government can't read or police E2EE messages, even if they want to. Telegram just doesn't care about that.

The comparison was uncalled-for, but Telegram earned its reputation by conscious action and not inaction. If they wanted to avoid all of this mess, they could have easily done that by enable E2EE by default. Policing Telegram's public groups is no different from Discord servers or other centralized non-encrypted platforms.

 

Drug dealers, scammers and white nationalists openly conduct business and spread toxic speech on the platform, according to a Times analysis of more than 3.2 million Telegram messages.

I'm someone who generally is against slapping "AI" on everything just to cash in on the hype bubble, but this is a great example of access providing something good that wouldn't exist otherwise.

The whole ethical "AI" discussion has its place, but nobody who is objective can't deny that more creative tools is a good thing. In the same way, as moving from paper to digital tools was a great thing which made it more accessible to more people and fostered creativity.

Anything "AI" is controversial, from what I have seen. But people probably expressed their opinions so many times already that they are just voting and moving on now.

Well damn, NY Times airing that IDF killed their own hostages is something I didn't expect. Props to Riley Mellen, Neil Collier, Natalie Reneau and Alexander Cardia for doing actual journalism.

 

Major Democratic donors on Wall Street are increasingly pushing Kamala Harris’ team to replace top regulators Lina Khan and Gary Gensler if the vice president wins in November.

Palestinian meaning:

“From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate".

Israeli meaning:

And the original platform of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s party, Likud, published a version of the slogan, saying that between the sea and the Jordan River, “there will only be Israeli sovereignty.”

Now tell me again which ones want to eradicate people.

Leaders are rotating, governments are not. I think that's a wrong approach.

Tougher crimes for sexual violence is definitely warranted (not death penalty though), and not just in India. But like you said, that alone won't solve the issue as it's engrained in the culture. The culture that is promoted by PM Modi and his party though, so any real changes are unlikely.

I don't think they had anything specific in mind, but they just don't want to create prominent female figures, be it real people or game characters. They have a long history of suppressing gender equality there.
