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.

Please do not ruin the reputation of SimpleX, by saying it's a terrorist messenger. Actually it's one of the best but need a bit of development

How's that ruining its reputation?

As people would thought that it's a Nazi and terrorist messenger

Did they think that about Telegram? I thought it was quite popular despite that.

Right but even when you have the reputation of terrorist messenger it's not the best thing
