>>Furthermore, they frequently "ban" channels that they deem contain "inappropriate" or "adult" content. Clearly they're reviewed by either humans or AI of some sort. So... I don't like them much.
My understanding was that it isn't Telegram that bans them, but Apple that doesn't let certain channels be shown in the iOS app. Android and the web version show all channels.
- rahuldottech 7y agoSuch channels aren't viewable on Android, dunno about web.
- simonh 7y agoApple doesn’t dig into third party apps to police their forums, chat channels and content. That is very clearly the responsibility of the app developers. More bullcrap excuses from Telegram. Come on. E2e disabled by default, phone numbers exposed by default. Channels stalked by moderators. It’s a joke.
- gadders 7y agoMy understanding was if Apple got a report about NSFW/hate speech/whatever channels, then they had to be hidden on the Apple version or else the app gets pulled from the app store. As to the rest of the app's quality, no idea. I use it on my phone and it seems OK, but I've not really dug into it.
