UNESCO Study Finds Widespread Holocaust Distortion on Telegram

Messaging platform Telegram, a major source of news and information in Russia and across much of the world, is so rife with Holocaust denial and distortion that nearly half of public content shared by users related to the issue falls into these categories, more than on other platforms, according to a new study led by the UNESCO. People posting such content have found ways to evade moderation, including vague nods that signpost for users more explicit material on other platforms, or through inside jokes, memes and references that mock or glorify genocide.
