Al-Qaeda Supporter: Chat Groups For Online Supporters Offer No Valuable Content And Pose A Security Risk – Operatives Should Instead Use Their Time To Develop Useful Skills In Online Security, Media

On August 9, 2024, a prominent Al-Qaeda supporter published a Telegram post arguing that chat groups for supporters are a waste of time, offer no valuable content, lead to pointless arguments, and pose a security risk since they can be infiltrated by intelligence agents and law enforcement. The user called on other Al-Qaeda supporters to reduce their involvement in such groups and instead devote their time to developing skills that are actually useful, such as online security, physical defense, and media.
