Addressing the distribution of illicit sexual content by minors online
I&#x27;m hesitant to even comment in threads on this topic it&#x27;s so blown out of proportion in modern western society but some of the absurd things implied need to be addressed.<p>&gt;Telegram implicitly allows the trading of CSAM in private channels.<p>You might as well say, &quot;Private unmonitored housing and properties implicitly allow the trading of CSAM.&quot;<p>So...what about addressing the distribution of illicit sexual content by minors offline in the same way? Are we going to start saying that all inhabited spaces should be monitored by government cameras? Should all mail&#x2F;packages be opened and read&#x2F;scanned? Why are online spaces different than offline spaces? I&#x27;d argue it&#x27;s because the people writing crap like this depend on FUD and ignorance to push their agendas and they have a monetary incentive in applying FUD to all digital spaces.<p>&gt;Gift card swapping and exchanges, such as G2G, are a critical part of the monetization of SG-CSAM, allowing anonymous compensation for content.<p>Going to ban cash then too? This article is shallow, ignorant self promotion of their dept. to get more funding. It&#x27;s almost offensive how they&#x27;re exploiting chldren&#x27;s safety for this purpose.
