Far-right groups on Telegram have been using COVID-19 conspiracy theories to recruit new members.
This finding comes from a study by the Institute of Strategic Dialogue, based in London.
Far-right groups have mobilized emotions around COVID-19 restrictions and vaccinations.
A new study has found that the far-right has extended their reach through messaging app Telegram and COVID-19 conspiracy theories.
The London-based Institute for Strategic Dialogue study has found that the far-right has been using COVID-19 conspiracy theories to recruit people into their extremist views.
It found that 90% of the most viewed posts from far-right groups contained misinformation regarding COVID-19 vaccines or the pharmaceutical companies manufacturing them.

I wouldn't call Yahoo News a reliable source. Now, upon googling this article title, I found many other links for this story. The only reputable one was Business Insider. All the other google results were links that led back to Yahoo and/or Business Insider. Oh, and it was literally the same verbiage on both Business and Yahoo articles.

MSG (Join to see) It’s no different than the old Early Bird, Apple news, or MSN news. And Yahoo provides a link to the original story.

You should also probably be aware the Business Insider is not a publication about business, it is a political news aggregator.

Business insider while having a left-center bias, does have a high factual rating.
