The SWC’s new 19-page report, Telegram: A Briefing, details the growing use of this social media platform by far-right extremists to promote hateand violence against Jews, Blacks, and law enforcement.

SWCresearchers, who regularlyshare information with Department of Justice, Homeland Security and the FBI, havefound that far-right channels on Telegram glorify terrorist actors and movements, including murderers of Jews and Muslims at prayer. The report documents how this content leads toincitement and inspires lone wolf violence.

The report should serve as a wake-up call for law enforcement and policy makers alike to demand thatTelegram take the necessary steps to degrade the activities of extremists of all ideologies on its channels.
