Malaysians are sharing child porn, rape videos on, Telegram 
Jun 16 2016, 10:10 PM, updated 10y ago
Captions like “slamming a 6 year-old” and “my daughter at 5” appear throughout the video, although the faces of both the girl and the man cannot be seen.
In another video, three Asian-looking prepubescent girls are seen huddled together in a room on what appears to be a bed. One of them fellates a man, whose face is blocked by another person taking the video.
The video titled “ajar_budak_kecik” (teaching little kids) later zooms in on the three girls who are sitting on the bed naked, showing their chests and private parts.
Given Malaysia’s zero tolerance policy when it comes to porn websites, you would think that these videos of child porn are only accessible on the so-called dark web ― a hard to access part of the Internet often used for illegal activity.
Wrong. Many local, Malay-speaking groups and channels on pro-privacy encrypted messaging app Telegram have already downloaded them.
After a recent exposé by social activist Syed Azmi Alhabshi about a local paedophile group on Telegram, Malay Mail Online decided to investigate if there were Malaysians who were actively using the app to source and access child porn.
Videos like the ones described above and also those depicting girls and women being raped were quite easily available — all you need is a Telegram account and the links of the channels and groups which people use to share these videos.
Accessibility and privacy
In just a few hours, Malay Mail Online found a dozen local porn channels and groups that contained thousands of explicit images and videos of adult women, teenage schoolgirls in uniforms, as well as child pornography and what appears to be videos of actual sexual assaults as opposed to staged “rape” in adult entertainment.
Most of the members appear to be Malaysians and many of the users conversed in Malay. Those depicted in several pornographic videos and pictures, which seem to be amateur porn, also appear to be Malay.
It is rather easy to join porn groups or channels on Telegram. One only needs to obtain a link to the group or channel, which can be found through a Google search by using terms like “seks”, “Telegram” and “Malaysia.”
Users in such groups also frequently post links to other porn channels or groups. Those links are listed on the group’s or channel’s information page.
Groups are limited up to 5,000 members, whereas channels are used to broadcast messages publicly to an unlimited audience.
One of the sex channels that we found has more than 11,000 members. Many of the local porn groups on Telegram have the maximum 5,000 members.
Collections of images, videos and audio clips are listed on the group’s or channel’s information page.
There are also search functions to look for particular messages or files. Many of the Telegram porn groups or channels have thousands of photos and videos, with one channel having more than 19,000 video files at the time of writing.
Telegram users enjoy privacy as they cannot see each other’s phone numbers, unless one already has a number previously saved as a contact.
Telegram also allows users to send end-to-end encrypted messages, which means that only the sender and receiver can read them, preventing a third party, including the authorities, from intercepting such messages.
But a November 2015 report by Motherboard from American-Canadian media company Vice Media quoted experts who said the app may not be as secure as previously believed, noting for example that the encrypted chat function is not enabled by default.
