Telegram’s [Similar Channels] feature, recommends extremist channels even when users browse channels on nonpolitical topics such as celebrities or technology, according to a report by the U.S. legal advocacy organization Southern Poverty Law Center.

“A broad variety of extremist groups and individuals, including neo-Nazis, antisemites, conspiracy theorists, Proud Boys, QAnon influencers and others, are now operating openly on Telegram, spreading propaganda, recruiting new adherents and forming communities,” the researchers said.

To understand how extremist channels are recommended on the app, the SPLC created a list of 300 English-language, U.S.-centric Telegram channels supporting various extremist ideologies, including white nationalism, neo-Nazism, neo-Confederate movements, antigovernment conspiracies and propaganda.

They found that even users who choose to consume extremist content from one ideology [such as antigovernment conspiracies or election disinformation] are often “suggested” channels from unrelated extremist ideologies, including antisemitism or white nationalism.
