Far-right agitators have long enjoyed an unparalleled level of impunity on Telegram.
As riots swept the U.K. in recent days, far-right groups plotted attacks on immigration centers and swapped manuals for making petrol bombs on the fringe social network Telegram.
Social media platforms have faced intense criticism for hosting extremist rhetoric that has inflamed violent disorder since****the killing of three children in Southport in a stabbing attack late July.
But while Elon Musk’s provocations on X (formerly Twitter) have grabbed the limelight, right-wing agitators have long enjoyed an unparalleled level of impunity on Telegram.
It’s almost like complaining that whispering is legal.
Okay? I never said anything about legality. Look up the history of Telegram. It’s basically a Russian agitation fomenter.
Not arguing.
