If a friend was sending their pretty legally obtained books that they downloaded from different website via the TOR browser to themselves via Telegram to have an easy way to download them on their tablet, should they stop that and connect their tablet to their PC via an USB cable instead?

Asking for a friend.

...or just spin up a local fileserver with Caddy (in case you can't install Localsend on a specific device)

friend should nuke this crapware and use syncthing for such activities. if they happen to run jellyfin, they can use it to serve books as well, and by utilising the OPDS plugin it would allow compatible readers (e.g. Librera) to directly download books/comics to the device in a shop-like interface.

They're targeting people selling stolen credit cards and drugs, who are advertising on telegram. Your friend (SWIM?) is fine.

Governments won't see your friend's private messages and thus not request IPs. They're fine.

Your friend should find a better, more lazy way to transfer files. People have commented about some and there is lots more.

I'd bet they're going after the big group chats of people sharing illegal material, not so much private chats.

Notify your plant salespeople as well

He ruined it for everyone. If he fucking cared about his platform like ridding it from child pedos, drug trafficking groups and vice versa. He could've still retained what was already going. But because that he didn't, this is the course we're on.
