According to The Washington Post, the American non-profit organization Coalition for a Safer Web is demanding the removal of the Telegram messenger from the Apple App Store.
Yesterday, the organization Coalition for a Safer Web filed a lawsuit, in which the Telegram leadership is accused of the fact that the messenger does not in any way fight against calls for violence and messages with extremist content. In particular, the situation with the breaking in of the US Capitol in early January is mentioned. The lawsuit says it violates Apple’s App Store Terms of Service.
In this regard, the plaintiffs demand to remove Telegram from the App Store. It is also reported that Coalition for a Safer Web plans to ask the court to remove Telegram from the Google Play store. Recall that in the latter case, Android users always have the opportunity to download applications from other sources. iOS users don’t have this option.
Pavel Durov said that in the first week of January, Telegram’s active user base exceeded 500 million people a month.
As of January 12, 25 million new users joined Telegram within 72 hours.
