Conspiracy Theories in Aotearoa

[Magoo]

What Im seeing besides the obvious is Telegram this and Telegram that

Telegram is a popular cross-platform messaging app that is widely used because it offers some enhanced privacy and encryption features as well as support for large group chat features.

Telegram was founded by two Russian brothers Nikolai and Pavel Durov and was originally based in Berlin. It is registered both as an American Limited Liability Company and Limited Liability Partnership in UK.

Telegram does encrypt your messages as they travel between your device and the Telegram server, but these messages sit on the server so you can access them from multiple devices. A breach of Telegram's servers could thus result in your messages being exposed.

The service offers end-to-end encryption in its secret chats, but you have to start these manually. If you forget to start one, or someone else begins a non-secret chat with you, it doesn't enjoy the same privacy protections.

I wonder if some of these conspiracy groups use this medium because of its encryption and secret chats?
Not being one that uses the likes of these chat apps I dont know if its the same for all the other apps out there but Telegram seems to be the preferred on at this stage

the ct nutbars use the medium as a platform because they can, most legitimate places want nothing to do with them
