    Good. They shouldn’t.

    Unencrypted channels are the ones that are easiest to trace, and the easiest ones to successfully base a prosecution on.

    The most correct response is to report them to law enforcement. Unencrypted channels make amazingly effective honeypots. It’s fairly easy to bust people using unencrypted channels, esp. because people think they’re anonymous and safe. It’s much, much harder to bust people once they move to .onion sites and the real dark net away from their phone. When you shut down all the easy channels, you push people into areas where it’s much harder, almost impossible, to root them out.

      What if telegram refuses to cooperate with law enforcement in a timely fashion to provide details of the people sharing that material? What should law enforcement do then?

        At that point they’re willingly hosting it for no reason other than to host it for their customers and they’re complicit, no?
