    Kind of a wishy-washy article

    The very reason israeli people are using telegram, open news, no overt government censorship, the ability to buy drugs. Is the exact thing they’re complaining about in the article. If telegram was not a neutral messaging service, nobody would be using it anyway.

    Seems like the main thrust of the article is, group should not be allowed to communicate unless it’s endorsed by a government.

    I do respect the fact that they talk to telegram themselves, and got their neutral philosophy on the record.

    In this case, I’d say the censorship worked in favor of Hamas, and while “poorly moderated” platforms did give them the opportunity to spread their “propaganda”, Hamas used it to show everyone their true face. The result of the propaganda was people who were previously sympathetic to the Palestinian’s cause we’re now calling for Gaza to be turned into a parking lot.

    I also find it rather rich that the article is complaining about misinformation when most of the press printed the lie about the hospital attack as if it was a fact.
