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)
EDIT: I provided the screencapture below in the comments. It is confusing, but I think my brother copied the text from somewhere, and the “debunk” link was automatically saved & restored when you copy-paste it. Simply re-typing the said text doesn’t trigger it. So the link is definitely saved from previous source
Source?
my family channel try it yourself: the text is “La proposition de loi sur la présomption de légitime défense des forces de l’ordre, qualifiée de « permis de tuer » par ses détracteurs, a été adoptée par l’Assemblée nationale le 7 juillet 2026 et attend désormais son examen au Sénat”
Anecdotal evidence without even a screenshot is no evidence at all.
Yeah, proof??
who? of what?
Of the debunk addition?
the triggering text is: “La proposition de loi sur la présomption de légitime défense des forces de l’ordre, qualifiée de « permis de tuer » par ses détracteurs, a été adoptée par l’Assemblée nationale le 7 juillet 2026 et attend désormais son examen au Sénat”
Tried it in a group chat, nothing happened:
The fact that the link appeared instantly when you sent the message is suspicious. Something else is going on here. Also I noticed that the link was already included at the start of the recording.
You’re doing something weird. Try to copy the text from here on Lemmy with no link anywhere, paste it in a new message with nothing weird in it and send.
Yeah as I said in the edited paragraph in the beginning; I think what happended is that the link gets copied, even if manually deleted. It then reappears, despite being visually deleted. So what looks like “automatically being inserted”, is actually was there, but hidden
Also not comforting to be reminded that someone else is reading your family chat.
If you don’t want that, use a messenger with proper encryption, properly implemented.
It might not be comforting, but it is important to be reminded. Someone else is reading your chats, and you should act accordingly.
Try turning on ned to end encryption.
Leave flanderers outta this. He’s a righteous man
Ned to end
It’s like I’m sending nothing at all… nothing at all… nothing at all…
lol. Glad I left it as is.
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
Reddit changed my “incompetent” to “competent” referring to a sick individual world leader.
I don’t go on reddit anymore.
