The controversial messenger service is giving way after months of pressure from the government. The company is also shutting down Attila Hildmann's canal according to the requirements of the BKA. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser wants to keep the pressure on the company high.

After massive pressure from the federal government on Telegram, the company is taking noticeable action against hatred and incitement on the internet in Germany for the first time. According to the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Telegram has blocked a total of 64 channels in recent days. According to security circles, this also includes those of the anti-Semite and conspiracy ideologist Attila Hildmann. The closure was due to pressure from the Federal Ministry of the Interior and the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), it said. The BKA has sent corresponding deletion requests to Telegram. A total of 64 have now been taken into account.

On Friday, further details of the contacts between Telegram and the federal government were also announced. On Thursday, according to the information, there was a second conversation at the working level between the government and Telegram. The government and the company wanted to "continue to maintain a close exchange," it said after the talks. Company founder Pavel Durov had already assured this in the first conversation, in which he himself took part.

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser made it clear that she wants to continue to crack down on Telegram. "We are constantly experiencing new waves of hatred and threats against people and against our democracy on Telegram," she told SZ. "We are acting quickly and consistently against this." She will continue to push for the company to fulfill its responsibilities and legal obligations, she said. "Telegram must no longer be an accelerant for right-wing extremists, conspiracy ideologues and other inciters. Death threats and other dangerous hate posts must be deleted and have clear criminal consequences." The Interior Minister sees the deletion campaign as a success of the weeks-long pressure on Telegram. "The Federal Criminal Police Office has significantly strengthened the investigation. From the first day in office, I have built up significant pressure to bring Telegram to cooperation. This pressure works."

The channels of the conspiracy ideologist Attila Hildmann on Telegram have not been available in Germany since Tuesday. Users who want to access it will receive a notification that the channel cannot be displayed "because it violates local laws". Hildmann, who had become known as a vegan chef, had sent corona conspiracy myths and incitement to about 100,000 users via Telegram. Since February 2021, the 40-year-old has been wanted by the Berlin judiciary with an arrest warrant. He has since gone into hiding and may be staying in Turkey. The policy initially felt demonstrated

The Ministry of the Interior has been demanding for some time that hate and incitement on Telegram be outlawed and removed. So far, however, the company has not complied with the legal obligation to delete. This has recently caused growing anger in the federal government. The policy felt demonstrated. The first proceedings were unsuccessful because German authorities could not even find an address of the company to which they could have sent a notification. Telegram is based in Dubai. Most recently, the government openly threatened the company with massive fines of up to 55 million euros.

Telegram is used by radical opponents of vaccination and lateral thinkers, among others, to network for protests against the corona measures. The Thuringian Constitutional Protection had recently complained, for example, that many concrete coup fantasies were being spread there. The platform was also used by numerous right-wing extremists. In December, Telegram users had written in a chat about wanting to kill the Saxon Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU) because of his corona policy.

Here we go. Knew this was going to happen, as the CEO is a member of WEC. He's a dedicated communist. So Telegram was set up as a communist TRAP helping the commies identify everyone who is Against Communism. It was all a trap.

The communists want a list of everyone they need to immediately EXECUTE or send to "Re-education Labor Death Camps", as soon they finish their Coup D'etat.....which is coming soon, unless We The People stop them.
