Telegram removed from App Store
-
PSA, I just heard in one of the Telegram groups I belong to that the app has been removed from the iOS App Store...sure enough it is not there.
-
Do you mean Telegram app itself is removed or only the group? The TG app is very much there, can see on Google playstore, so assume it will there on iPhone app store too unless this is specific to iOS.
-
Yeah, i don’t see it in the App Store.
-
Didnt The owner get charged with facilitating terrorism?
-
This is wild as hell. Still there on Google Playstore though.

With the frequency of channels being nuked recently, my tin foil hat had me thinking.

@BoxerLover I don't think it's due to pep channels. There is some child safety reg violations.

Yes, that's what I've been reading. Still, banning download on iOS and not Android for content that is easily removed by them?
-
Given the shit show of global restrictions and oversight, and the massive loopholes, banning TG over child safety issues and not wiping out most major social media platforms wholesale seems a bit, idk, out of touch?
Take a look at GDPR. It would seem that its main purpose is to provide privacy to, um, convicted predators.
