UN-backed counterterrorism group Tech Against Terrorism said on Wednesday it was issuing an “urgent alert” regarding the organisation of UK riots by far-right extremists using Telegram. It cited the growth of a 15,000-strong Telegram group that it said was now removed, which had shared a list of protest targets, including immigration-related sites.

“Telegram’s inadequate moderation of extremist channels is contributing to violence and unrest across the UK,” Tech Against Terrorism said.
