NYT reporter falsely accuses tech investor of using a slur
&gt;the Times’ tech team quickly donned their hall-monitor goggles and Stasi notebooks to warn that the Bad People had migrated to Signal and Telegram. This week they asked: “Are Private Messaging Apps the Next Misinformation Hot Spot?” One reporter “confess[ed] that I am worried about Telegram. Other than private messaging, people love to use Telegram for group chats — up to 200,000 people can meet inside a Telegram chat room. That seems problematic.”<p>I&#x27;m already hearing this in local debates. It seems to seriously scare some folks that there are places where they cannot deplatform whoever they want for anything.<p>(PS: Open groups and channels are not encrypted on Telegram servers and can be reported. It is just that Telegram doesn&#x27;t have a history of letting other abuse it.)<p>Edit: I&#x27;ve been planning to subscribe for a while. I do now.<p>Do it if $5 is pocket money for you. If not for this then for something else he have done.<p>Good journalism is extremely important but much of what we see today is a mix of extreme bias, outright lies and outrage manufacturing.
