Telegram automatically modifies your text message to "debunk" whatever you are trying to send

In our family’s chat, every time my brother tried to send something along the lines “the new law which allows French police to kill protesters”, Telegram would inject an article below his words, which “debunks those claims”. Fuck off Duroff, it’s a fucking family chat, not a twitter wall (which i don’t have btw, but i was told that how it works there)

Also not comforting to be reminded that someone else is reading your family chat.

  It might nit be comforting, but it is important to be reminded. Someone else is reading your chats, and you should act accordingly.

  If you don’t want that, use a messenger with proper encryption, properly implemented.

I’ve been using Telegram for like 10 years now, and never once has it spell checked, autocorrected, fact checked, or added ANYTHING that I didn’t type myself. I’m calling bullshit.

  It appears it may be a thing some places, this references testing of it last year and a quick search showed Grok may be tied into some

    Anecdotal evidence without even a screenshot is no evidence at all.

Reddit changed my “incompetent” to “competent” referring to a sick individual world leader.

I don’t go on reddit anymore.

I’m guessing access to french chats is one of the conditions that durov gave under the table in order to get out of prison
