"'Rightwing extremist propagandists have been looking for a Telegram alternative for several years,' said Joshua Fisher-Birch, analyst at the Counter Extremism Project, who first alerted the Guardian to the SimpleX migration of far-right extremists. 'This is the most significant platform change for these specific, extreme, privacy-focused online white supremacist communities to date.'"

"Alexander Ritzmann, a researcher with international organisation The Counter Extremism Project and an adviser to the European Commission’s Radicalisation Awareness Network, said he had "never seen a network in right-wing extremism grow so fast".

He said AC was a "sophisticated operation" and warned if the movement was "allowed to continue to operate and multiply, the likelihood for targeted political violence will increase"."

"According to Joshua Fisher-Birch, an analyst at the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), 'These groups will continue to hold anti-immigration rallies before the November election because they see an opportunity to recruit and gain publicity within the broader anti-immigrant space,' before warning, 'These extremist groups are not popular but frequently try to gain momentum from culture-war issues in an attempt to stay relevant and recruit.'"

"The clubs are ‘arguably the largest and fastest growing violent extreme-right network’, and are spreading across the UK, according to the insights provided to Metro.co.uk by the Counter Extremism Project (CEP)."

"Joshua Fisher-Birch, an analyst at the Counter Extremism Project who specializes in monitoring the far right, confirmed he had seen the same Terrorgram-linked channel, the War Room Posse.

'It is still a bit early to tell what Terrorgram channels will say specifically before the election,” said Fisher-Birch, adding that the “channels are also continuing to share manuals that promote lone actor attacks on people of color, LGBTQ people, Muslims, Jews, government officials and others, as well as encourage attacks on infrastructure'."

"The Counter Extremism Project has also warned of the threat from 'active clubs', which were created in the United States in 2020 to 'make fascism fun'."
