Well in Telegram's case the idea is that they knowingly provide taxi services to those criminals and do supposedly nothing when it's reported to them because they are "too small" to moderate everything

How do they "knowingly" service criminals ? Is there a check box to state that you are a criminal when you message someone ? I just installed Telegram and can't find it.
The idea is (well according to France at least) that they'll monitor those chats and report the suspected "criminals" to the government.

I assume they'd could check for specific keywords or use perceptual hashing for images etc.
