This is likely a false accusation.
If Apple acquiesced to Russia’s demands, Apple would have: 1) removed Telegram from the App Store in Russia, and 2) prevented Telegram from using the Apple Push Notification Service to distribute non-blocked IP addresses to clients.
More likely, updates are being rejected for another infraction. Telegram should publish the App Store reviewer’s criticisms publicly, and provide more context before making public denouncements.
- wetpaws 8y agoKnowing Apple I would be very surprised that it is a false accusation.
- sebleon 8y agoInteresting, you don’t think this is an odd punishment if this was about Russia?

Cry in public and blame others, while he is the one who messed it up.

- codedokode 8y agoTelegram is now implementing new sponsored Telegram proxies. This is a well designed system that motivates individuals and channel owners to provide proxies in exchange for promotion. So blocking updates prevents it from working and making Telegram less vulnerable.
