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."

Why anyone's still using Telegram is beyond me...

It has a shiny chat interface and that's all people care about 🤷

Because...stickers! Everyone fucking loves stickers!

Oh oh! We can instantaneously share GIFs to eachother! Wooooooooow!

It's like dangling plastic keys infront of an easily amused baby, these people.

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.
