NYT reporter falsely accuses tech investor of using a slur
>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.”I'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.(PS: Open groups and channels are not encrypted on Telegram servers and can be reported. It is just that Telegram doesn't have a history of letting other abuse it.)Edit: I've been planning to subscribe for a while. I do now.Do it if $5 is pocket money for you. If not for this then for something else he have done.Good journalism is extremely important but much of what we see today is a mix of extreme bias, outright lies and outrage manufacturing.
