The vast majority of websites just want to know where their visitors are coming from and, if they are selling a product, some aggregate level of demographic knowledge to tailor their marketing efforts. They really don’t care about an individual or even small cohort and aren’t selling the data on.

Targeting advertising is sooo much more effective for small and medium sized businesses and actually makes many businesses viable in a way they weren’t in the past.

The ideal solution would be to find a way for businesses to get those insights in a way that preserves privacy at the individual level. Something like apples differential privacy system but web wide.

No it's not. It's "attacking" behavior (real or imagined) that's specific to the subgroup of "Rust developers".

If I say "murderers suck", and 85% of murderers happen to be men, am I "attacking" men as a group?

No, but what's disgusting is that both sides of the argument will come up with different reasons why it's not.

From my experience those charges are valid and well deserved. As a Telegram user since 2015, I've spent 2 years actively reporting groups and individuals in posession of explicit materials involving children and animals. Some of my friends have also joined me in this effort. Unfortunately, Telegram never banned any of those groups and individuals which is a textbook case of not only being an accessory to crime, but also being complicit in letting the crime go on.

I don't understand why this comment is being downvoted. You guys are upset that I was trying to get pedos and zoos banned? You support what they're doing?

We changed the URL from https://www.tf1info.fr/justice-faits-divers/info-tf1-lci-le-... to an article in English. If there's a better article in English, we can change it again.

This isn't Slayers X.

But on a serious note if he's a billionaire then he can drop the whole monetization schtick. Telegram has become unusuable in the last few years. There's crypto scam ads everywhere.
