Around 3 years ago when I started to look at how terrrorists might exploit blockchain tech in the future, one of the biggest concerns I had was the development of a decentralized social media channel. We’re seeing such experimentation now.

Islamic State supporters experiment with presence on BCM Messenger, an end-to-end encrypted messenger based on blockchain technology. In this example ISIS supporters share latest photo gallery showing a recent attack in Central Africa

FWIW, after reading their whitepaper, I feel like the app does none of the things it says it does. It feel a lot like a farce to me.

Hmmm...I haven't gone through the white paper, so interesting to hear that. I wonder if other programmers have looked deeply at this. There have been scam platforms masquerading as extremist websites in the past. Something to look into.

Let's just say if they are doing what they say they are, they've solved some severe comp sci and cryptography problems, as well as what everyone in the blockchain space is currently working on.
