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.
