I’m pretty sure that if everything would have been EE2E on Telegram it would never have reached the size and popularity that it has.
I don't know what you're saying here because it makes no sense. No one who uses or shills for Telegram thinks lack of EE2E is a good thing, absolutely no one. They use it despite of lack of EE2E (ignorance or ideologically-flavored ignorance).
That is the case. Looks like I was confused. Thanks for the patience.
Being anonymous isn't incompatible with helping people
You're missing the point I've made completely.
Do people create mods for games or create open source software solely for recognition?
They can't gain recognition, uploading anonymously. But if someone purely wants the crack for the game to exist they could do it
Whether that would be worse than running Denuvo malware is up for debate lol
I don't buy this. It's easy to upload files anonymously.
Yup this doesn't seem robust at all. Any message anchor= just points to a message UUID, which means there is a page, showing adjacent messages, for every message. The pages are mostly duplicates.
The pages are plain html, so yeah? Now I'm unsure if search engines can really scrape the entire post history because pagination is done with anchors, I'm not sure how robust anchors are.
An anchor looks like this: https://view.matrix.org/room/!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org/?anchor=$c2Qx9k8CB4WBrNsIxW4WxlZ1MqBvYS-tfGFsA7QkxMg&offset=60
I don't think you were making this argument, but I want to highlight that data is not morally neutral. Google Maps drives even less customers to stores that are smaller, and already have difficulty getting customers.
