telegram ads (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

As Telegram ads are getting more misleading and dangerous than ever (specially crypto ads) just wanted to know is there a way to block them? I'm mostly worried for my more elderly family members getting affected

In a lot of situations this is sadly not plausible. Here it is pretty much as dominant among younger generations as Whatsapp is among the older ones. Like, my uni group has all its communication there: technically could leave, but I would need far more organizational and social skill than I have now. So I just isolate it from private information and treat as public.
