I’ve only played with it for a few minutes, and skimming a few articles can hardly be called research, but it seems to me #Telegram has practically been engineered to not only provide secure messaging, but also be a perfect platform for extremists. Am I wrong?

I don't know about #Telegram's goals, but if I developed a really secure system with end-to-end encryption than it is safe for me as well as for any bad actor because in really secure systems the service provider would have no way to read (and thus filter) any messages.

My problem with Telegram is not its (somewhat mediocre) end-to-end encryption support (see heise.de/hintergrund/Telegra…), rather the way it enables one-to-many broadcast and doesn’t give a flying fuck about the kind of content it’s used for

I don't know how the protocol is implemented but I think this is a question that is not concerned with Telegram by itself but Telegram is only an instance. One can also design 1:n comm. secure (although you would have to encrypt each message to all participants individually).
