It has already become more than clear that Telegram is becoming a hostile terrain for content that promotes piracy. Since their policies changed and started allowing reviews of private channels and groups, many Kodi add-ons have announced their closure final.
The first was Kodivertir, followed not long ago by Cristal Azul and now, Luar joins the list. Any user who was watching free content on Kodi using these add-ons will now no longer be able to do so.
What happened to Luar? Kodi add-on shuts down without warning
Currently, Luar’s (Kodi Maniac) Telegram channel is closed. No one can enter as before and those who were inside the channel received the news an image announcing the closure: “The time has come to say goodbye. WE CLOSE THE DOORS. We hope so. In these 4 years Luar will help you with something. Thanks for being there. Goodbye.” These were the words of the developers.
It’s not much different from how Cristal Azul communicated to break the news that they were getting off the ship. It seems that the threat to take legal retaliation against them because the promotion of piracy is increasingly dangerous. To leave no more traces and escape the consequences, these plugin creators They are closing their Telegram channels and abandoning their projects.
Previously, Telegram was much more lax about what was promoted or talked about on its platform. This, unfortunately, It also attracted many criminal groupssuch as those who promote extremist movements, including pedophiles. In the midst of this sea of a thousand things, anyone who wanted to find free content on anything could turn to Telegram. Currently, this is impossible.
There may be the development of a behind the scenes of the witch hunt. The truth is that so far no creator has dismissed their project with a statement that honestly explains what’s going on. The most detailed was Kodivertir, although we tried to avoid mentioning Telegram among the reasons for its closure.
If this continues, it will only be a matter of time many other Kodi add-ons become part of the story. One thing is clear: Telegram is no longer a safe place to view or download pirated content, as was previously the case.
