Did Telegram itself ban them or was it Apple and Google?
AFAIK the Telegram apps on the Apple and Google store are HEAVILY censored. Have been for a while.
In Germany lots of channels critical of Corona measures have been censored but they're still available if you download the app directly from Telegram.
Of course telegram has also started banning some channels completely after pressure from German politicians.
telegram says its Google blocking these channels. not sure how exactly that would work if Telegram is encrypting its traffic
Apple and Google have some way to censor channels they don't like in the apps in their stores. They've been doing that for a while.
No idea whether that's with or without Telegram's cooperation. Either they inject their own censorship mechanism or they forced Telegram to implement it or get banned.
Encrypting traffic means nothing when a hostile party controls one end of the communication. In this case the app.
Doesn't matter to me who did it. Got the app just to show support for free speech, deleted the app for the same reason.
The Apple/Google censorship doesn't happen if you get the app directly from Telegram's site.
Do you have something wrong with you? Your posts read like the ramblings of a mad man. You honestly seem like you're bordering on psychosis.
You sound exactly like every woke cultist; only thing missing in your verbal diarrhea is the word "incel"
No Russian ever called me a Russian bot.
Yep. A lot of these retards are no different to woke cultists.
