Shane Harris' looked at ISIS' use of Telegram in the Daily Beast a few days ago. [1] And Marcy Wheeler's post yesterday [2] relates John Brennan's complaints about the challenges encryption is causing for law enforcement "especially in Europe". Marcy writes: "If terrorists were using WhatsApp (which a lot of the fearmongering focused on), the metadata, at least, would be available via Facebook. But since Telegram is not a US company, it cannot be obliged under Section 702 of FISA, and that surely creates just the kind of gap Brennan was talking about."
