    Not too sure what Google was trying to achieve here - nothing is stopping anyone from creating a new channel/group/whatever for the same purpose…

    The restrictions don’t apply if you downloaded Telegram from outside the Play Store either

    Meh, not the first time they’ve blocked stuff when requested. Russia has asked them to remove stuff a handful of times and they’ve complied.

      They only comply when asked by google/apple because otherwise they risk getting banned on their stores.

      That’s why they advice you to, on android, download the app via the web. Because there, these companies have no say and the content is unrestricted.

    I don’t understand how people can be okay with Telegram openly supporting the al-Qasam Brigades.
