Good, Hamas terrorists and their apologists should not be given a platform.
Israel and their apologists should not be given one, either.
Title is a bit misleading. Those channels are not blocked on Android in general, but only on the play store version of telegram. Download from F-Droid instead and that’s that.
I think I can do without terrorist channels.
It’s the principal of the matter.
Do you feel the same about Nazi channels?
Yes. Same cunts
You’d be upset if Nazi accounts were banned?
No, of course not? Did I get the question wrong?
Someone said they were okay with these accounts being banned. You replying “it’s the principle of the matter” made it sound like you were disagreeing with those bans in free speech or anti-“corporate” censorship like many other commenters were saying. So I asked if you were okay with them banning Nazi accounts, which you agreed with so maybe I misunderstood?

No one does except those in power.
The show must go on and “I’m” the star. - vote me
They shouldn’t submit to arbitrary censorship, even if I also disagree with Hamas, Google could do it to anyone they disagree with. Telegram should move to (or at least also be on, with an uncensored version) F-Droid.
If you think blocking literal terrorists is “arbitrary censorship” then I don’t even know what the fuck you are looking for in a society.
One where we treat HAMAS and IDF the same way
Seek professional help then. Seriously, before you hurt someone.
They are. There’s a FOSS version of Telegram on f-droid.
The world is telling palestinians to just give up and die
Hamas does not equal Palestinians.
Right, so get rid of hamas so theres no more obstacle to exterminating palestinians.
Stop calling every Palestinian a terrorist.
Who is stopping palestinians being exterminated?
If you think Hamas is an effective security for Gaza and the West Bank, you’re outta your mind. It’s the existential threat of becoming enough of a pariah to be forced to trade with North Korea and rely on the Kibbutz economy again. Can’t really maintain tritium stockpiles that way.
Hamas is as effective security for Gaza as Likud is for Israel. It would be better off for both parties if each fucked off.
Okay, who else is gonna stop the extermination if not hamas?
Certainly not Hamas, since they’re responsible for what is happening now.
The threat of international condemnation and the less hawkish members of the Israeli government and electorate.
Predictably the rate at which civilians in Gaza are bombed by Israel went up not down after Hamas’ acts of terrorism the other week.
Even if you believe that the Israeli government is ontologically evil; serving them up causus belli to bomb and potentially invade Palestinian lands does not constitute “preventing Palestinians from being exterminated”, rather it actively helps them hastens the process
The international community supports the extermination
You misspelled causing
What do yall think was happening in gaza before this attack?
Why do you think that was happening before this attack?
Zionism
First good thing Google has ever done.
🙄 way to be over dramatic
This is why I don’t use a messaging app that allows non-participants to control my conversations.
This is just another parameter that will now be built into future chat software; no high level control over channels or groups by any central authority. The Internet will route around all obstacles.
Wow Google, that’s pretty not evil of you!
Hamas channels, or Hamas channels promoting violence?
