I got banned from telegram yesterday.
I did not know this was a thing.
End to end encrypted, but yet I sent a nude, a very attractive one too, and it's very clearly of an adult (it's me, I'm old), an hour later with no other interactions going on and only really chatting to 1 person on there and with few contacts, my account was banned.
The experience is odd, web telegram only shows last line said, and you find yourself signed out of the app. Try to sign in and it says the telephone number is banned.
End to end encrypted should cover everything. If you can be banned for something pleasure related, legal, consenting... Then there are no protections, and no safety for being queer and fun.
Reminder that Signal exists, is properly secure, and that it soon (now in beta) supports username sharing rather than phone number sharing.
Privacy is the bedrock of democracy, but it's also the very basis by which LGBTQIA+ people can be safe... And secure communication is required for privacy.
