Дуров: Apple требует забанить некоторые каналы в Telegram для пользователей с украинскими SIM-картами

Telegram founder Pavel Durov said that Apple has sent a request to block some Telegrams -channels for Ukrainian users. Although the platform community usually opposes such blocking, the company still has to listen to such requests in order for the application to continue to be available in the App Store.

Pavel Durov recalled that back in February 2022 he proposed limiting Telegram channels in Russia and Ukraine because they were used for military propaganda. However, users were categorically against such restrictions. At the same time, the platform blocks accounts and bots that collect coordinates for targeted attacks or publish personal information with calls for violence.

“Regarding general news/propaganda channels, we are receiving official letters from Apple indicating that certain changes are imminent, at least for users who receive access to Telegram on iPhone using Ukrainian SIM cards” ─ said Durov.

He added that the Telegram administration is interested in providing users with “uncensored access to information and opinions so that they can make their own decisions.”

“However, it doesn’t always depend on us,” says the founder of Telegram.

Pavel Durov did not specify which channels and how many channels Apple requires to block for users with Ukrainian SIM cards.
