Telegram is an encrypted chat app used by dissidents in many countries where their dissent could get them murdered or tortured, so we absolutely should not to try "get it taken down" just because fascists have migrated to it.
Activists have been pressuring Telegram to nuke the white power channels for a while. They weren't doing so before the failed coup, but now they are for damage control. It's a game of whack-a-mole: the Nazi vermin keep setting up new channels & are doxxing some of the activists.
I definitely support platforms removing white supremacists and fascists wherever they can, and it's good that they've started doing it in earnest where visible. What gets sent in the E2E encrypted channels can't be policed, though.
Telegram does not have e2e encrypted channels E2e encryption can only be enabled on Telegram for individual messages ("secret chats"), all Telegram "channels" are stored unencrypted on Telegram's servers This is a common and frustrating misconception
There is no connection between Telegram offering encrypted phone calls and text messaging between individuals and Telegram hosting far-right channels and discussion groups The latter are not "encrypted" in any sense at all, it's no different from Facebook hosting groups
Telegram is home to extremist groups because its owners, the Durovs, have fostered a culture of tolerating them They have just as much power as any other social media CEOs to change their minds on that in the future if they want, and they already have in the past with ISIS
