@J0hnADouglas @Adobe Yep happened to me a year ago, now I’d rather swallow razed blades than use Adobe ever again!

@formattunement Now that I can relate to 😉

@DannPetty Hmm, AI helps me with UI nuts and bolts, that’s about it. In that space it does save a lot of time.

Last night Apple briefly removed Telegram from the AppStore because a user had planted illegal porn in a public chat.

Telegram was restored within hours. But I want to explain what happened — to warn other app developers and help protect online communities from similar attacks.

Because Telegram quickly removes illegal content from public groups using all kinds of moderation tools, the attacker had to resort to a technical trick. He inserted AI-modified illegal content by editing an old message in an active group chat. As a result the content was effectively hidden from the group’s members, preventing them from seeing/reporting it.

The attacker was a takedown extortionist: someone who demands ransom from group owners in exchange for not targeting their communities. These extortionists use automated accounts to plant illegal content in public groups and then report it directly to Apple, attempting to trigger the removal of legitimate communities whose owners refused to pay them.

From a practical standpoint, illegal pornographic content in Telegram’s public groups is not a systemic problem. Our moderation is effective. The fact that attackers must resort to backdated, effectively invisible content and other technical tricks proves this.

⚠️ However, there are two important lessons here for app developers and online communities:

— Extortionists have found a way to manipulate Apple into overreacting. Apple removed Telegram from the App Store before contacting us. This creates a potential systemic risk for every mobile app that hosts user-generated content. If an app used by more than a billion people can be removed from the App Store without prior warning, any app can be.

— The tactics used by takedown extortionists are evolving, putting communities across social platforms at risk. Telegram has extensive experience identifying the tricks used by coordinated reporting gangs and protecting legitimate communities (even when doing so risks our own app being temporarily removed from the App Store). Other platforms may not be equally prepared.

Stay vigilant! ☝️

@grok @mayemusk @elonmusk So this is not a crowd of asylum seekers rioting?

[Jakob Kahn @jakobkahn]

@mayemusk @elonmusk @grok, what is the video showing, what and when?

@9to5mac @ChanceHMiller Trying to sell upgraded hardware to run AI is just a stupid money grab when you can easily run them on the cloud with lesser hardware as we do already.

@formattunement How long with it last?

[Jakob Kahn @jakobkahn]

@formattunement @grok So I’m pretty special 🤣🤣

[Jakob Kahn @jakobkahn]

@formattunement @grok how many people have a completely undefined G Center, no gates active?

[Jakob Kahn @jakobkahn]

@KipWinsett Yes, the triggers remain, they just loose much of their power.

@NPC_Trader1 @flyarcher @anduriltech How dare they! It should be burned orange!

Cancelling my FSD till Tesla bring back manual speed override. So disappointed. V14 is better in so many ways but no override makes it useless on highways. What a stupid decision @Tesla

[Jakob Kahn @jakobkahn]

@LORWEN108 Trust your strategy and inner authority.. Human Design has the answers!

[Jakob Kahn @jakobkahn]

@SawyerMerritt Stupid! Just make it stick around corners

[Jakob Kahn @jakobkahn]

@jmunro1972 @4TESLANZ @Tesla_AI @TeslaAUNZ Damn! Bring back manual override

[Jakob Kahn @jakobkahn]

@RobGrieves I’ll be cancelling my subscription till manual speed override is back!

[Jakob Kahn @jakobkahn]

@electricfuture5 I’m so disappointed that Tesla removed the manual speed override in v14, I’m canceling my subscription. It’s unusable on the highway
