Eh, I don't know if it was illegitimate or not considering he allowed abuse to carry on on the platform for years and due to no encryption it was well known about.

I hope either people using the platform or telegram itself learn their lesson and the people using it leave for better platforms or telegram finally add meaningful encryption and stop pretending that they can sit back and do nothing.

No, I'm not suggesting abuse should be allowed to carry on just because it moved to encrypted messengers, nor that all the 'illegal' things that happened on it are bad (something being illegal doesn't mean it is unethical inherently), just that those doing nothing unethical deserve protection and telegram doesn't provide it.

As for the rest well, they deserve to be taken down and kept well away from anything that would enable them to abuse.

Knife makers absolutely know people are using their tools to commit crimes, up to and even murder. Are they going to be held up until they do Something(TM) about it?

I think this is a false equivilance. One knife manufacturer doesn't control all the knives on the market. Telegram had the ability to do something about it and didn't.
