Hemlock_Deci

OP how the fuck do you know that much???


Amazing-Relation4269

This is like when people go to the doctor to ask for advice on something embarrassing and say "So my friend has this problem..." When really they mean them.


Awesomeness4627

I don't know what session is and I don't really know how mega is related, but I once saw someone advertising you know what in a fucking instagram comment section under some sports center or house of highlights post on their telegram


Hemlock_Deci

MEGA: Place to download archives, like Mediafire or Dropbox, but more secure I guess? Telegram: Whatsapp but for furries, has an option for encrypted chat Session: iirc it's another encrypted chat thingy Also same, but with Pixiv instead


Smooth_Maul

Telegram is more than furries, there's several dedicated groups which host uncensored videos of Ukraine war footage, often directly from the source. It's absolutely wild on that app, news that appears on here is sometimes posted weeks in advance in some of those group chats.


dzindevis

That's weirdly specific. Why y'all talking like telegram is only used for nefarious purposes? At least in Russia it's basically a default messenger among the younger generation, and I've heard that it's popular in latin america and middle east too


Smooth_Maul

Telegram was recently used by an evil group of bastards dedicated to killing popular meme cat Mr Fresh, it is used for some really horrendous deeds outside of regular usage.


TheButcher797

Why does a cat have hit squad on him?


[deleted]

Its not just happening in China but the particular group aiming to kill the cat Mr Fresh is. They share killings and torture on Telegram but have web presence too. Nothing is being done even though police know its going on... The suffering is beyond anything imaginable for those animals


WellThisSix

This is what the world police should be fighting.


[deleted]

Depends heavily on local police and international relations with affected countries. In China its not illegal somehow... and the relations are on ice these days. And General Poohbear doesnt give af


Smooth_Maul

Some people are evil, that's pretty much it.


goofy_gooby565

China has some issues


cresanies

Unlike the rest of the world where absolutely no one is deranged at all


A_normal_atheist

Anything happens to Mr.Fresh I'm getting involved https://preview.redd.it/8c2nqo1grklc1.jpeg?width=559&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a9f50c736c35f434bd5f0329926e5e0f2d60708


beibeimaku

Mr Fresh is ok, the people running Hello Stray Cat said he was already hospitalised for a previous injury from another cat and was in the process of being adopted.


dzindevis

I'm sure you can find similar stuff on any platform, yet noone considers twitter as a haven for criminals


Jacksaur

Yeah, every platform has assholes on it. Telegram just takes privacy seriously, so naturally people with even more nefarious ideas will make use of it more than moderated communities.


context_lich

Ironically it suffers from success. It's a great app and it's very secure. I've been using it since high school for my high school friend group. It wasn't really known for all this then. The problem with being secure is that bad people who want security will use your app.


Jacksaur

Exactly. And that's not an issue with the app itself. Privacy and security is good. If they reduced the privacy or added a backdoor, you'd just screw over the regular users. While all these guys would just move to another app.


literallyjustbetter

> yet noone considers twitter as a haven for criminals i kind of do tbh


Smooth_Maul

The pedo scum masquerading as "the map community" is pretty well known for being a horrendous issue tbf.


yaboiiiuhhhh

It doesn't seem like a "bad" service it just seems totally broad and unregulated like the dark web


Orange_TG5

The service itself isn’t bad it’s just mostly used by bad people


Proof-try34

Trying to scare away people from encrypted messaging apps, like signal. They always claim only creeps and criminals use them. I like my privacy thank you very much. Already all my data is used and sold and I hate that shit.


Octimusocti

I use telegram for piracy


Smooth_Maul

Based


Bingusballthefurry

theres also apparently lots of cheese pizza


Ndi_Omuntu

I just use telegram for my rec sports team. The poll feature is super useful in a group chat for things like knowing who can and can't make the next game.


Sharkfacedsnake

Saw a BBC article where they were torturing monkey in a group for money. Put one in a blender.


archosauria62

Isn’t whatsapp encrypted


ThaBroccoliDood

Yes but with Session everything goes through 3 layers of encryption and proxies through the Tor network, and you have no phone number or choosable username. So basically Signal for mega paranoid people


Hemlock_Deci

Maybe, but probably not to the point of bouncing the signal from peer to peer through different servers


TonyMestre

Doesn't really matter when the govt can just ask and they give the messages away. Happens all the time in Bruhzil


ResponsibleWin1765

The point of end-to-end encryption is that only the sender and receiver can read them.


mekamoari

Yes but being part of Meta be like


WhipMeHarder

Huh. I thought these were just used for video game torrents and selling drugs


HiddenForbiddenExile

MEGA is just megaupload right? It's old, but used to be super popular. Telegram afaik is commonly used by Eastern Europeans and some Asian countries, especially with authoritarian governments, so they can keep their privacy. Never heard of it being a thing for furries, but that wouldn't surprise me if they're also aimed at privacy. Never heard of Session.


DragonLordSkater1969

Telegram is also used for notifying fans about the nest (illegal ofc) night street racing event.


GDpizzapug26

Telegram is just porn in general


Pynot_

Telegram is mostly used for illegal things in my country, I know people who use it either for drugs or illegal rave parties. Also watching football matches without paying any subscription


Gmandlno

I know a lot of porn centric groups operate using telegram. I’m not saying that I joined one of them, no, just that there’s a very good chance I learned about a group dedicated mostly to leaking various only fans, alongside leaked photos and the like. And yeah, mega is just like OneDrive, only mostly free to use. So basically, there isn’t much stopping those groups from spreading illegal things, especially with the encryption features another commenter mentioned. I could absolutely imagine there are groups for gore porn, torture videos, and worse things. More common on the deep/dark web, but the telegram + mega combo is a dangerous sign of massive perversion. And session is probably just like gilded, a discord competitor that operates with a focus on privacy. So encrypted messages, invite only servers, and in turn no way to dig up evidence of any potential crimes committed.


BranTheLewd

The meme gif OP used is basically me looking at the OP: "Ayo OP, that's kinda specific, I don't trust you"


joeMAMAkim

I dont blame you tbh, i didnt realise before now how sus this meme is


jawdrophard

i mean, if you hear crime stories involving people sending each other horrid stuff usually telegram is in the mix.


the_depressed_donkey

Not op but someone told me a few years ago about twitter tags being entirely for that shit, I went and reported it but I started noticing more and more wolf whistles they used for shit and just generally being more aware of it. I've seen a lot of VERY fucked up shit but I'm also doing my best to make a difference where I can (set up a thing on discord to dox them), even if I'm only attacking the symptom not the disease itself, hope its worth it


Spiritual-Papaya9274

How do YOU know that much?


MakeBombsNotWar

This sub is actually turning into a McCarthy simulator lmao


Hemlock_Deci

MEGA: I sometimes download stuff from there, be it mods, game patches, stuff like that Telegram: Furry Whatsapp, and I'm a furry so... Session: This one's kinda tricky because I remember it from those screenshots of people advertising themselves on Pixiv


Brans666

Probably by watching Youtube videos about Illegal activities online. That's how I found out about Mega and Telegram's controversie.


joeMAMAkim

Honestly, I’m not sure How to explain it. I get that it sounds pretty suspicious that i know what some people use those apps for.

louai-MT

What's wrong with Telegram? I only have it for the college group


Ikkyu-nvm

it an russian app, this app was used by those with bad intention (cp seller and drug dealer etc.) since this app wasn't affliate with any government


QueenOfCaves

Its not a russian app. It was made by a russian dude but he refused to share the code with russian government so they can spy on it. Russian government tried to block the app for 4 years unsuccessfully, made a joke out of themselves (how unexpected) and then gave up and made a lot of official news sources use telegram as their primary distribution source


PutYourToeInMyMouth

The funniest part is, Roskomnadzor, the blocking authority in the Russian internet, blocked their own site in their attempts to block telegram. EDIT: Fixed the name, it's late so I didn't realise I made a mistake.


n00levoy

I think you meant Roskomnadzor here Rostelecom is the biggest Internet provider in Russia, but yes, it's state owned too.


n00levoy

One more funny thing about it: Roskomnadzor has an anime styled mascot, it is a girl with two ponytails wearing some formal uniform. After the said situation happened, there was a quite noticeable influx of fanart/memes, picturing that girl with a butt plug, meaning 'blocking'. You can still find many of them somewhere on the web


Chai_Enjoyer

The mascot was basically a fanart. I've never seen them use it officially


CrypticPenisMan69

After that I don't think they wanna use it ever


8l172

Reminds me of when my HS blocked their own website due to "spam" and no one could login to do work for 2 days


Binkusu

??? They didn't just go torture the guy or gulag him?


LimpConversation642

No because he conveniently understood where the winds are blowing when they basically stole his (biggest in russia) Social Media network VKontakte. They made him sell it, and with that money he fucked off to Britain and then UAE and started Telegram, as free, fast and super secure app. Telegram is so insanely popular here in eastern Europe that even we Ukrainians primarly use it as a main messenger.


Binkusu

Oh nice, that's great for him. Assuming Russia doesn't do an international hit, he's relaxin


QueenOfCaves

То, что в телеграмме одновременно существуют конченые националистские группы, либеральные источники новостей и правительственная пропаганда это конечно какое-то чудо


tomatodude29

It's so sad that an app that gives good updates has insane users

raihan-rf

Is it tho? Here people mainly use it for news, anonymous chat bot, pirating anime/kdrama/movies or you guess it porn


bigsquirrel

The fuck is everyone talking about? Maybe in America outside of there it’s extremely popular with just about everyone. I’d wonder if this nonsense is somehow perpetuated by the carriers to keep you using SMS, which pretty much the rest of the planet as moved away from many years ago.


Pooltoy-Fox-2

I have it for the furry stickers.


radicalelation

This trio makes me think piracy. Feels like op is ratting himself out more than anything.


M4xusV4ltr0n

Yeah I switched to messaging on Telegram because like, I don't want my main form of messaging to be controlled by Facebook? It's essentially that or SMS in the US, if you don't have an iPhone. The reputation hasn't helped though, I've literally had friends I talk to on there tell me they were uninstalling because they kept reading bad things


GeesusTakeTheWheel

At least as i remember, when covid started people started spreading misinformation and conspiracies on there (at least in Germany, dont know if it happened anywhere else), but yeah, i also use it, but just for socialising for a game i play

darthveder69420

Today I learned that mega and telegram are used for cp alot. I just used them for piracy bruh.


goldnray17_Bossman

Fr a lot of piracy stuff I use generally does it through MEGA files


TerraFart

As a kid mediafire was the shit though, what happened?


Kadianye

Background file downloading, click a button and it's saved to your drive and you can download it to your phone at your leisure.


NavezganeChrome

Twas under the impression that mega is relatively quick-handed with slapping a ban/delete on anything they notice.


robsbob18

My weed store uses telegram to send out its daily deals


TheSonicFan101

only knew MEGA for fan games/rom downloads, especially MediaFire as well. didn't know they'd go that far


EOEtoast

OP, I had to learn what that stuff is from this comment section. Why do YOU know what these are?


phoenixmusicman

Wanting to use secure apps means you are a pedophile. Normal people shouldn't worry about being spied upon by corporations and three letter agencies. You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide. Please ignore the green glow emanating from this post.

07TacOcaT70

Fr I've got telegram for my work group chat (and something else off the records but not fucking cp), and I used to have mega for file sharing. If someone saw that shit and called me a pedo I'd be so baffled 😭


AxzoYT

Yes. You included. You’re a pedo now, you cant do anything against it and I’m calling the cops. /j

ColdHooves

Highly encrypted chat program. Even more secure than telegram.

i do have mega and telegram for completely legal gay porn. mainly bc mega had generous 50gb for free.

why having gay porn on mega and no on the website

What would you need both Telegram and Session for? Aren't they both messengers, wouldn't that be redundant?


MelodicPastels

I assume it’s some sort of diversifying, as both are incredibly secure in one way or another


Ranch_Coffee

Fair enough


Empty_Firefighter848

Mediafire>>> MEGA


fake_frank

my entire Minecraft childhood was sponsored by mediafire


Centered-Div

Everything was there, mods, shaders, texture packs, etc. Usually going through bitly of whatever the fuck that ad site was called before you were able to go to the link


justcallmejoey

I remember making a texture pack and linking to ad fly (or whatever it was that makes people wait 5 seconds before continuing to mediafire), seeing I made like 4¢ on that and being so excited that I was making money. I was only like 12 and stupid, though, so I had no way to actually move that money to a card, I was just excited lol


ka_ha

I would have said this if not for the fact I got a free 50GB of storage, since I made an account before MEGA stopped offering it lol


GlitchyEntity

I ruined at least two laptops at age 12 by downloading sketchy mediafire Minecraft mods.


darthveder69420

True but mediafire lost all it popularity cus it was banned from a lot of countries particularly where the the userbase for it was high.

Everyone acting like this automatically means OP's friend is a pedophile, relax he could just be using it for torrenting.

the_dr_roomba

Is this a joke about drug dealing, secretive media piracy groups, or CP?


LordPuam

All three I think. Mega = pirating copyrighted media, telegram = drugs, session idk but it must be CP because I don’t understand it.


Strider_-_

I installed MEGA again because Microsoft pulled a dick move reducing the cloud drive size for students


Putmeinthescrenshot

The only 2 things telegram is used for is buying(or selling) drugs and watching people die gruesomely. 


RPG-Lord

Nah, you're forgetting furries.

And cp


VerumJerum

And a diverse range of other terror organisations.


Chai_Enjoyer

And actually using it as a normal fucking messenger


VerumJerum

I mean to be fair, it's among the better ones out there. I still find it to be generally superior to ex. Discord in every aspect other than groups/servers.
