Telegram Restored to App Store After Content Policy Review

Apple restored Telegram to the App Store on August 5 following a brief removal due to alleged violations of child sexual abuse content guidelines.

Telegram founder Pavel Durov claimed the removal was pushed by 'extortionists' and confirmed the company is working to improve its moderation tools.

The app is now fully functional, but the incident has sparked a debate over the platform's content moderation policies and its relationship with Apple.
