Founded in 2013 by Russian brothers Nikolai Durov and Pavel Durov, Telegram has a more private chat community, but has also been fined or banned in Russia, Brazil and other countries for not complying with information security laws. In 2022, Hong Kong media reported that the Hong Kong government's police, legislators, government officials and other people and their families were subjected to illegal "bottom-up" (that is, human flesh searches), and personal information was circulated on the Telegram ethnic group.
In addition, it is worth noting that many of the groups in the screenshots of the online chat are named "Jack Hot Strips" fan group. "Jack Spicy Strip", formerly known as Xu Zhihui, was once an up owner with 400,000 fans on Station B, but was previously exposed by netizens to organize cat abuse, and his account was banned.

On April 27, the Funan County Public Security Bureau issued a police report confirming that it was found that on March 15, Xu Mouhui (male, 29 years old) abused cats in a small forest in Lucheng Town, Funan County, and filmed a short video to share in the QQ group. After it was spread through the Internet, it was condemned by netizens and animal protection activists, causing a bad social impact. According to the relevant provisions of the Law on Administrative Punishments for Public Security, the public security organs detained Xu Mouhui in accordance with the law.
According to public information, Xu Zhihui won the special award of "Funan Good People" in July 2022, and the Funan Civilization Office issued an announcement on May 5 to cancel the title.
However, Xu Zhihui continued to post videos related to food and life on YouTube recently, and the latest video was updated on May 17.

In fact, it is not the first time that cat abuse groups "open the box" netizens. On May 17, a B station up owner said that he opposed cat abuse and spoke out for related incidents, but was "opened the box" by a cat abuse gang.
