Dozens of neo-Nazis are fleeing Telegram and moving to a relatively unknown secret chat app that has received funding from Twitter founder Jack Dorsey.

In a report from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue published on Friday morning, researchers found that in the wake of the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov and charges against leaders of the so-called Terrorgram Collective, dozens of extremist groups have moved to the app SimpleX Chat in recent weeks over fears that Telegram’s privacy policies expose them to being arrested. The Terrorgram Collective is a neo-Nazi propaganda network that calls for acolytes to target government officials, attack power stations, and murder people of color.

Pfffff no one would ever do that, what are you some kind of conspiracy weirdo??

Stop being so paranoid, no one's out to get you.

If you haven't done anything wrong, what have you got to hide?

Many people are targeted around the world for their beliefs. That includes activists, journalists and other people who "haven't done anything wrong".
