Wdym? Last I checked Telegram is not banned in any way.


Since Durov was arrested in France they censored much more to appease Europe. Germany is now no. 2 for the most takedown requests, that's a nearly 20x increase in the last 3 months alone! https://te-k.github.io/telegram-transparency/


That’s understandable, Telegram is mostly used for illegal stuff in Germany. What I think is more interesting from your link is that India has 10x the number of takedown requests wtf


>Telegram is mostly used for illegal stuff in Germany

According to whom? Politicians who don't like other opinions and threatened to block it?
