Apple pulls Telegram from app store, gets a snarky response

Apple removed Telegram from its app store on Monday, before reinstating the app not long after.

Telegram, which has more than a billion monthly active users, says it has a zero-tolerance policy for material on child sexual abuse, blocking nearly 338,000 groups and channels over such items this year.

Apple has confirmed that Telegram was temporarily removed from the App Store after a review found content violating its guidelines.

The Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Eugenia Abdallah, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Benin, saying the ministry remained committed to justice.

At times the desire not to be associated with bad news coming out of Ukraine keeps organizations from doing the right thing. In Norway, one aid organization allowed a convicted sex offender to travel to Ukraine while his case was being appealed.
