The Rise and Fall of Terrorgram: Inside a Global Online Hate Network

www.propublica.org

How a cadre of white supremacists used the loosely moderated social media platform Telegram to inspire lethal violence — until authorities took them down.

A Global Network: White supremacists from around the world used Telegram to spread hateful content promoting murder and destruction in a community they called Terrorgram.

Spurred to Hate: ProPublica and FRONTLINE identified 35 crimes linked to Terrorgram, including bomb plots, stabbings and shootings.

A New Home: After several arrests of alleged Terrorgram members and reforms by Telegram, experts expect that white supremacists will find a new platform for their hate.
