Terrorgram, a network of neo-Nazi channels, is spreading across Brazil
Hosted on Telegram, channels spread terrorism and share guides on how to make weapons and explosives.
Damn it's a really good thing that Telegram sucks so bad and that groups never had access to end-to-end-encryption.
Will make these people easier to identify.
These small factions of complete assholes put a stain on encryption technologies that governments like to point out. I still think that everyone should have easy access to high quality encryption. While it can be enabling for groups like this, the nanny state alternative we continue to move towards is ultimately worse.
That implies law enforcement will investigate right wing extremists, which they often don't because they're a part of that whole thing. Loads of LEOs give their buddies insider info to avoid being flagged.
I hate this dichotomy of government surveillance vs assholes that abuse privacy and freedom.
for real, i wish we didnt "need" government surveillance because people just didnt do bad shit
Did they really call themselves "Terrorgram"?
That's a level of self-awareness I didn't know fascists possessed.
It sounds like a name deliberately chosen by the author writing whatever techno-political thriller novel they're working on.
Telegram should just pretend to care like Facebook and they'll get left alone and the neo Nazis will still have their groups.
It's called "X" now..
Get with the times.
X is banned in Brazil now.
I wonder if it's because they are opposing Elon Musk?
