Many don't seem to understand why I object to @Telegram having unsafe, censorable public channels in an app that is promoted as a secure messenger. Some presumed I just don't understand how channels work. So let's talk about it:
RT @KAzarhoosh: I have no love for Amadnews, but this is an example of why Iranian gov prefers messaging apps to social networks. Once a channel is taken down, the community around it disappears. In a way impossible to take out a decentralised(or even moderated) network. #IranProtests #filternet https://t.co/HgwcvHlq9V

A Telegram channel (amadnews) started to instruct their subscribers to use Molotov cocktails against police and got suspended due to our "no calls for violence" rule. Be careful – there are lines one shouldn't cross. Similar case from October – https://t.co/OWQFBLywjr
RT @NarimanGharib: As @Snowden predicted, after 17h hours after he tweeted, Iranian government has been blocked #Telegram in many major ISPs and mobile networks within country. #IranProtests https://t.co/W6s2cZT7ar

Reminder that while the secure messenging app Signal provides a feature to circumvent filtering, which would offer a safe alternative to the now blocked Telegram, Google prohibits Iranians from using this service. #iranprotests https://t.co/dlg2WLPM7r
RT @maasalan: Unverified if these pose real threats, but these texts and accounts like @PouyeshGar on @Twitter & @Telegram (see https://t.co/RcqmMqZfbA) aim to scare people out of #IranProtests both online and offline. https://t.co/jQBhEl2C6y

This account @PouyeshGar is threatening people who participate to the street protest or even keep posting about #IranianProtest on social network. We need to stop them. They are active on @telegram (@PouyeshGar ) as well. @TwitterSupport
Twitter & @Telegram DMs are being used to intimidate Iranians and keep them from participating in the #IranProtests. Clear TOS violation, but the accounts are still unblocked. https://t.co/4cOIILG8hM
