Far-right Extremists Are Now 'Recalibrating & Planning' On An App Favored by ISIS - Ali Velshi MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

As DC officials are tightening security ahead of Wednesday's inauguration, NBC’s Anna Schecter reports that extremists are “recalibrating and planning for January 20th” even though their preferred app to plan, Parler, was shut down. She tells Ali Velshi that these extremists have found a workaround: “Telegram was the app favored by ISIS and now it’s really the place for far-right extremists and conspiracy theorists.” Aired 1/16/21

1. Undoubtedly being closely scrutinized by intelligence & FBI. Only the fact ISIS uses it,

may well allow the skirting of any legal obstacles to tracking if they should pick up information incident to the act of surveilling foreign groups.

4. After the segment aired, I researched Anna and found she is fluent in foreign languages.

Our country is blessed with many intelligent, articulate commentators (within the media and elsewhere) who speak truthfully on political and social issues. I hope that such people are drawn to serve in the Biden-Harris administration.

5. Moscow Marsha Blackburn used her twitter platform to make sure her seditious followers knew

knew about this and other encrypted apps where they could hatch their nefarious plots far from scrutiny by law enforcement.

6. Telegram is full of holes and has been easily hacked.

• Telegram had security flaws that let hackers change what you see
  
• Telegram exploit that gives hackers access to your personal media
  
• Massive list of Telegram's vulnerabilities

So ya ... MAGAt terrorists are quite secure at Telegram
