Durov should probably use some AI to immediately find out channels containing unsafe content to automatically flag them as inappropriate rather than leaving this to users reports. On Pic/Gif search => nothing pornographic
Gif search and pic search are provided by serious companies that don’t allow pornographic content on their platform. That’s why they are safe.
Here is what you get for "breast".
Scams and pornography only. But I hope it will be corrected.
There should be an option to disable Global search / People Nearby (or at best a way to automatically detect unsafe content when browsing in supposely "safe mode")
Here's my own thoughts, if you want to add them to this issue.
I was thinking more along the lines of having a seperate telegram client with more limited functionality.
I sent this to a dev a while back, thinking maybe they could use the open source telegram code, but no response.
It's not such a big deal IMO to fork the telegram app and pull out features. I've thought about doing it myself, but I just don't have the time.
I'm hesitant to open up a new issue, because I don't want to dilute it, and the particular issue mentioned here is pretty general and would be a pretty huge step.
The search wouldn't show groups/people etc unless you're a member/ they're in your contacts.
The people near me functionality isn't accessible
Can only view/join a channel if added to it.
Joining by link disabled.
Gif editor disabled (yes, there are people concerned about that, although it may seem prudish.)
(possibly disabling verifying web login etc - if the app is a child/locked version, it shouldn't be able to access the regular desktop version.)
mommy, aunty
The only project doing this is CloudVeil Messenger, a Telegram client without search feature, groups, stickers, etc. However, I've experienced many sync bugs installing it on my smartphone.
It would be way better to disable these features from Telegram's settings, or to block them with a password protection, which includes also "adult content" toggle.
