    promotion of terrorism.

    You know the accusations are bogus when you see this.

      Just because it is most of the time bullshit, it doesn’t mean that is not a thing ever. The “think of the children” doesn’t imply that legit application of child-protection laws are not a thing.

      Telegram is for example known for Russian military bloggers, which are, in fact, promoting terrorism.

      During the whole ISIL thing, Telegram was a prominent way to radicalise and recruit new terrorists, at least here in Europe. Islamist extremists still often use Telegram these days.

      Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Even as a general user I’ve come across illegal shit on Telegram, so they clearly aren’t even attempting to moderate. It would be absolutely zero surprise that obvious terrorist organizations like ISIL would be using the platform for some communication and recruiting. And that doesn’t even get into subjective shit like Russian aggression and attacks on civilians in Ukraine, which many would consider terrorist attacks.
