The Australian government officially categorised the white supremacist Terrorgram Collective as a terrorist organisation last month – after it was linked to an alleged plot to kill a New South Wales Labor MP. A decentralised network, Terrogram mostly operates on the messaging app Telegram.
Perpetrators of mass violence – including the Australian perpetrator of the Christchurch mosque shootings – are called “saints” by its users. They are treated as icons, martyrs and even role models.
