They ban bots all the time. Bots are consider public and have to comply with telegrams ToS and to an extent with Apple/Googles ToS. Problems here mostly are related to illegal data, copyright infringement and adult content. If they could not remove such stuff Telegram would have long been shut down or at least kicked from all app stores. The same rules apply to any other app on the stores. No technical solution (encryption or whatever) would make this go away.

> The same rules apply to any other app on the stores. So you can't sell a web browser that can access illegal copyright infringing adult content? I think they should remove all browsers then.

  The browser does not host or provide content. Messengers like Telegram however do. Public telegram content can be found direct with telegrams in-app search. Also everyone knows that browsers are excluded form most of these store rules because reasons. Browsers dont have to pay a fee for ads shown either for obvious reasons. BTW you can use web.telegram.org to circumvent apple blocked content on telegram because this runs in a browser they dont have to comply with app store rules (for now). And you can use F-Droids Telegram Fork or the APK form telegram.org to circumvent googles blocked content. In case of a bot that is turned off however this does not help because its turned off at the backed.

    > Messengers like Telegram however do. That's not completely true. The bots are basically like web servers.
