Elliptic data leads to the shutdown of the two largest online criminal marketplaces of all time, revealing the vulnerability of centralized platforms like Telegram for illicit activities.
i don’ think people engaged in “black market” whatever it means here care. they are trying to make cash money, and there is nothing westoid regimes can do about it beyond make tele shut it down after they had a great run making cash
Telegram is not private. When are people going to learn?
Probably after a few more of them get shut down in the same way.
It is very popular though so if you are trying to reach a market…
… youd be dumb to use it, because its not private.

if i were doing “black market” stuff, i wouldnt want to be found doing it.
yeah but if you are based in china, they won’t do anything about it and tele gives you direct access to westoids and their spending habits.
chinese law is not lenient with criminals, drug traffickers and the likes.
That law did not stop China manufactured fentanyl from flooding US illicit drug markets during 2010s
usually, laws only prohibit the black market circulation of drugs.
no us law is stopping us pharma from buying copious amounts of cheap fentanyl and distributing it unscrupulously. also blaming asians for it lol.
