Indeed. NIMBYs in my area claim that we should shut down the train because criminals come from the inter city to commit crimes and then return to the city after. I see the claims against telegram to be the same.
That's not comparable, because there's an actual police service meant to take care of criminal activity, meaning that's the train is not a careless conduit with rampant unchecked lawless activity. And that's ignoring that NIMBYs just make up stuff and exaggerate, but even assuming their rampant fears were based in reality.
