The problem is that a telegram group could not be found so easily like a website. But that thing could be circumvented by making an announcement and a link to the channels.
I can understand that you like the old software, Alexandra. You also can find a lot of things that you cannot find elsewhere in the database. But exactly that is more and more a problem, nowadays. It is a scale between privacy of the individuals, general public interest and personal curiosity. The scale and therefore the laws tip more and more towards protection of the individuals and privacy. IMO that is a good way and the regulations dragged on. The individuals risk to get harmed more and more without protection.
It is also politically a difficult trade off. How do you fight terrorists considered by the fact that they can use encryption, but at the same time allow the common individuals to use those means in a world where there is less and less privacy and risks to get harmed. I would say that trump is right, when he says that this problem can also be regulated by a stricter vetting of risk groups. I think that a population or subpopulation like a country has the right to do so and consider this a legitimate.In Europe also the copyright rules are going to be reformed. But I find it ok, because individuals e.g. like artists deserve more protection against big businesses like Google and youtube profiting too much at the end.
