ISIS Leader Who Burned Pilot Alive In Cage Is Captured

Through Telegram the group recruit members, raise money and coordinate terrorist activity.

Setting up large public groups on the app, this is also where ISIS attempts to claim responsibility for acts of terror around the globe.

While Telegram now claims to remove ISIS accounts from public channels, they still refuse to intervene in private chats.

 

At a TechCrunch conference in September 2015, according to The Independent founder Paul Durov spoke about this decision saying

"I think that privacy, ultimately, and the right for privacy is more important than our fear of bad things happening, like terrorism.

If you look at ISIS – yes, there’s a war going on in the Middle East. It’s a series of tragic events. But ultimately, the ISIS will always find a way to communicate within themselves.

And if any means of communication turns out to be not secure for them, they’ll just switch to another one. So I don’t think we are actually taking part in these activities.

I don’t think we should be guilty or feel guilty about it. I still think we’re doing the right thing, protecting our users’ privacy.

Two months after Durov made this speech, ISIS murdered 130 people in Paris during the deadliest attack France has seen since World War Two.
