Telegram: A Hotbed of Crime and Lawlessness

Telegram has emerged as a platform where various crimes are being committed, including the distribution of illegal deep sexual exploitation materials and the sharing of violent content.

A recent investigation has revealed that Telegram chat rooms are being used to distribute ‘snuff films’, which contain scenes of murder or torture, as well as to facilitate the trade of illegal arms.

The Distribution of ‘Snuff Films’

One Telegram chat room, with over 15,000 users, was found to be distributing videos that showed scenes of murder and torture. These videos were often accompanied by comments that trivialized the violence and made light of the victims’ suffering.

Users of the chat room reported that the videos were uploaded frequently, with some days seeing as many as 20 to 30 new posts. The videos were often filmed in foreign countries, such as China or South America, and were shared without any censorship or mosaic editing.

The Trade of Illegal Arms

Another chat room was found to be facilitating the trade of illegal arms, including M16s and K2C1 rifles. Users of the chat room were able to purchase live ammunition and other firearms, with prices ranging from 2.4 million won for 30 rounds of live ammunition.

The trade of illegal arms on Telegram is a serious concern, as it has the potential to contribute to an increase in violent crime. However, the lack of real investigation or pre-order investigation into these activities has allowed them to continue unchecked.

A Playground for Crime

Telegram’s lack of regulation and oversight has created a platform that is increasingly becoming a playground for crime. The distribution of ‘snuff films’ and the trade of illegal arms are just two examples of the types of activities that are being facilitated on the platform.

The lack of investigation and prosecution of these activities has allowed them to continue unchecked, creating a culture of lawlessness and impunity on the platform.

This is a serious concern, as it has the potential to contribute to an increase in violent crime and to undermine the rule of law.

It is essential that Telegram takes steps to address these issues and to prevent the platform from being used for criminal activities. This includes implementing stricter regulations and oversight, as well as working with law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute those who are using the platform for illicit purposes.
