The Irish state is using legislation intended to track organised crime networks to spy on the private communications of people in the anti-immigration movement.
One of the users whose data they requested was Gript, which is Ireland's largest conservative news site.
Extreme overreach and political policing. I'm glad X rejected this request and is making this public. This should be treated as a huge scandal.

"There are several million Russians who can lift their head up from propaganda and try to look for other sources, and I'd say that most look for it on Telegram," he said.

If you initiate a Secret Chat, however, then these communications are end-to-end encrypted and are tied to the device you are using. That means it’s less convenient to access them across multiple platforms, but you are at far less risk of snooping. Back in the day, Secret Chats received some praise from the EFF, but the fact that its standard system isn’t as secure earned it some criticism. If you’re looking for something that is considered more reliable by privacy advocates, then Signal is the EFF’s preferred platform, although that too is not without some caveats.
