It's only scratching the surface of the reporting, there is much more. Some of the reporting might be due to "collective panic", but a lot of the reporting is due to telegram choosing to stay oblivious to groups that constantly abuse the service to make terrorism plans, e.g. recently a plan to murder the minister of health of a federal state, or groups with tens of thousands of members constantly publishing "traitor" lists of politicians, journalists and other public figures along with their private addresses, names of family members and even schools their kids visit, demanding the group members "inform" these "traitors" and their families that they will be hanged for their actions soon. At least last bit isn't just journalists making up stuff. I saw "queerdenker" stickers in my city giving a telegram link, which curious as I am checked out, and one of the first things I saw was somebody sharing a list of "Volksverräter" ("traitors to the people") followed by a lot of "hang them" comments by other people. I distinctly remember one person commenting that he had already sent a letter to one of the politicians containing a "Hinrichtungsbefehl" (order for execution) he cobbled together, of which he posted a screenshot. It was single page letter meant to look "official" that listed "crimes" (such as treason) the politician was supposed to have committed, and concluded that therefore the politician was to be hanged or executed by a firing squad (choice of the politician, isn't that nice? :P). The consensus of people in that group replying to that guy was that the letter was a good one, with some suggestions on how to improve it in the future. The group and the list in the chat history were still up a week later, so neither the group moderators nor telegram removed it.
