Telegram has taken action against Z-Library's channel, with several of Z-Library's own messages removed "due to copyright infringement."

Telegram, an essential communication tool for millions, finds itself under scrutiny once again. Copyright holders have long expressed concerns about the lack of enforcement on the platform, and recent actions suggest Telegram is responding. Subscribers to Z-Library's popular channel recently noticed that several of the shadow library's messages have been removed "due to copyright infringement."

When will people start using Signal or Matrix for this? Signal supports public, encrypted chat rooms and so does Matrix.

- you're on a piracy community but you're licensing your comments?
  if you don't respect other's licences, why should they respect yours?
  
  Not gonna lie... That little link is funny to me.
  
  On the face of it, I appreciate that it looks funny, but the power dynamics are quite different. If I'm caught pirating, my ass could land in jail. If a company is caught pirating, it's written off a business expense.
  Would you find it as ridiculous if a slave whipped their owner? If the poor stole from the rich? If the weak took power from the powerful?

  What's wrong with trying to prevent companies scrape your data? How is that antithetical to piracy?
- @onlinepersona I think I might start using Signal as well today.
  
  Welcome, comrade.
- I wouldn't recommend Signal for privacy. It has quite a few concerning issues. There are some good alternatives however. I think Briar is good if privacy is your chief concern. Sam Bent compared some of the other alternatives in this video.
- Matrix sucks, it always loses some chat messages when the client is closed and sometimes it says something like "hey dude something is wrong with your session, log out and use your security key to get access again and don't lose everything".
  
  [Sincere] Would you like solutions to this or would you prefer not to use it?
  
  Which client are you using and when was the last time you used it? I haven't had those issues in about 3 years on Element.

Imagine using a messenger without meaningful end-to-end encryption and expecting privacy and no moderation forever.

Why anyone's still using Telegram is beyond me...
- It has a shiny chat interface and that's all people care about 🤷

- Everyone uses WhatsApp these days.
  
  How is that any better? It's owned by fucking Facebook
- Mostly cause the satisfying functionality/usability and least laziness to move on to another platform. Also I am subscribed to many news, software and dev channels on Telegram so I just sticked with it. Also I use AdGuard on my phone and I never saw ads in my Telegram; was shocked seeing ads pop up in my friends Telegram though. But off topic here, I think Z Library's channel being on Telegram was not a good idea, Matrix would have been a way more robust option. But there is worse: pirate servers run on Discord, like seriously... why...
- Furries and their sticker packs.

Fuck it's starting

Next time use matrix.
