More recently, Telegram has been in the news for  its role as a powder keg in the anti-migrant riots in the United Kingdom . The UN-backed organization Tech Against Terrorism had issued an urgent alert concerning the insufficient moderation of the platform, which has fewer than a dozen moderators, compared to 15,000 for the Meta group.
