Apple briefly removes Telegram from App Store, Gram rebounds
Summary
Apple briefly removed Telegram from the App Store after a review found content violating its child sexual abuse material policies. Telegram was restored after removing the content and banning the user who posted it, according to Apple. Following the removal reports, Telegram-linked token Gram fell about 6.4% to $1.32 before recovering to around $1.40. Telegram responded publicly on X, saying, “Reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated.” The platform is also under legal pressure in Russia and Australia over its handling of illegal material, including alleged extremist and terrorism-related content.
