Out of curiosity what do you mean by censored? Are there groups that cannot be listed on the iphone app?
- iqanq 5y agoExactly, channels, groups, and bots.
- throwawayacc2 5y agoInteresting I had no idea. So, there’s groups that would work on the web client presumably but not the app. What happens if you join that group using your browser and attempt to see it in the app?
- iqanq 5y agoWhen you tap on the group, instead of the contents, you see a message like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2a/Telegram_Messenger_for_iOS_blocks_pornographic_content.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2a/Telegram... The exact message you see is "Unfortunately, this channel couldn't be displayed on your device.". It doesn't say anything about the app store because apple policies don't allow apps to say that contents are censored because of apple guidelines.
- throwawayacc2 5y agoHoly shit! This is crazy!

- sam_lowry_ 5y agoApple censored channels supporting Belarusian protests because they were publishing personal information of state actors, like judges, KGB and police officers. These same channels survive on Android so far.
