Israel v. Telegram : According to this article in #Haaretz, which was published last week, #Israel has had limited success in removing content from #Telegram compared to other platforms like #Facebook and #TikTok.
While #Telegaram has become a major platform for disseminating leaked information and Hamas propaganda, Israeli officials have attempted to contact it's founder, Pavel Durov, to address the issue of Hamas-related content on the platform. While Telegram didn't remove all the content, it did block access to some Hamas channels from within Israel.
Israel has managed to remove several Telegram channels that were publishing stolen information from the Ministry of Justice. However, the effectiveness of these efforts is limited, as hackers find new ways to distribute the information.
The article mentions that Israel's approach differs from Western countries, which tend to focus on prosecuting leakers rather than preventing the spread of leaked information.
Israel's efforts to remove content from Telegram and other platforms are seen as partially successful but face challenges, especially with the use of decentralized networks and servers based in non-cooperative countries like Russia.
