    To be honest Telegram doesn’t ban private groups “for piracy” and only takes out public groups that receive a DMCA.

    I think the above user is pointing out a rather fun fact - if you’re in some of the many private groups where shit is shared freely…those wanting to ban it don’t like the fact that they can’t see in those private groups.

    Like, is there any evidence of private groups being monitored by media corps or their lackeys in gov?

      This doesn’t make it secure for anything else. There are also plenty of private torrent trackers.

        Yeah, more my point is I was curious if Telegram has previously taken down private groups Vs public ones (I’ve seen a fair few of these obviously since they adhere to DMCA requests) but have never seen a private group taken down.
