Telegram, the wildly popular messaging platform beloved by the far right and instrumental to both sides in the Israel-Hamas war, has suddenly found itself in the crosshairs of European law enforcement and regulators.

French authorities made a surprise arrest of Telegram’s founder and CEO last week, a significant escalation in the growing efforts by governments to hold social media platforms liable for the often illegal and violent content they host.

And on Friday, following scrutiny of its lax content moderation policies, Telegram made several Hamas channels inaccessible, including the group’s main avenue for communicating with followers.

What is Telegram?

The company calls itself “a messaging app with a focus on speed and security,” with more than 950 million active users. In that sense, it functions much like Whatsapp or Signal, allowing users to send encrypted messages to each other.

Why do extremists love it?

Europe’s surging far-right movements have found a home on Telegram, using the app to radicalize new members and organize real-world demonstrations. The radical Reichsbürger movement, which believes Germany is still under Allied occupation and not a sovereign state, is one such group. They organized a coup attempt, in part through Telegram channels, but were thwarted by German authorities in 2022 when law enforcement discovered a cache of nearly half a million euros and an arsenal of weapons.

Telegram, based in Dubai, has long been popular in the Middle East, and its usage has surged in Israel and the region following October 7. That’s partly because both the Israeli military and Hamas have relied on it as a critical messaging platform.

As of October 2023, the month of Hamas’ attack and the war’s outbreak, Israel had around 2.5 million active weekly users, according to Sensor Tower, a market intelligence firm — amounting to about one in four Israelis.
