At various times, most social media platforms have received criticism for alleged failure to prevent distribution of copyright-infringing content. Few, however, have been threatened with widespread blocking more often than Telegram. In a row that seemed ready to boil over last year, Telegram was given an ultimatum by the Malaysian government; come to the negotiating table or face the consequences. A Malaysian minister now says that Telegram is ready to fight piracy.

The alternative is sitting down, having a talk, drinking some tea and talking about our differences.

You literally talk in your other reply about how you'll join them. You can't just sit down and talk about how they want to kill the jews and you don't - your willingness to hear them out inherently legitimises their ideas as being reasonable and able to be reasoned about.

I know you don't fully understand how the way that you say something can be as informative as what you actually say, but I don't need to assume - you did actually tell me in your comment that you don't really mind nazis as long as they're not being violent towards you.

This is becoming quite bizarre. Reading back my comments I don't even know which line you are misinterpreting cause I don't think I've said anything that even comes close to your accusations. Of course I'm not advocating to join nazi's. I think you'd be better of sticking to what people actually say, or else every online conversation is going to derail as much as this one apparently already did.

You really don't understand that the things you say have meanings, do you?

I never said I don't mind them, and I also never said I'd join them. I'm just suggesting we keep the conversation going and settle things with words rather than violence. It's difficult to have a conversation when you are unable to understand a point someone is making. Not saying you should agree at all. It's fair to have a difference of opinion. But you just misrepresent what I'm saying, that doesn't really lead to an interesting conversation in my opinion, so I'm out.
