TamTam Replaces Telegram: ISIS Switches Messenger While Claiming Responsibility for London Attack

On TamTam, the message appeared 2 minutes earlier.

According to Insider, which was told by jihadist group expert Peter Van Ostaijen, Islamic State terrorists have moved from the Telegram messenger to another Russian messenger, TamTam.

The expert notes that on TamTam, the message about the terrorists' involvement in the London attack appeared 2 minutes earlier than on Telegram. Telegram's administration has repeatedly taken steps to block ISIS in the messenger, so the group relocated.

However, as noted by TamTam itself, they have also begun blocking groups linked to the Islamic State. They did not say how many channels have been blocked so far.

Some experts believe that terrorists will look for new platforms to unite their supporters.

The TamTam messenger was launched in 2017 by Mail.ru Group, which owns VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and ICQ.

Earlier, the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the London attack.
