In a recent report in The Washington Post, a non-profit has also sued Apple, demanding that the Cupertino-based giant removes Telegram from its App Store. In the lawsuit, the Coalition for a Safer Web, a nonpartisan group that advocates for technologies and policies to remove extremist content, alleged Telegram’s role in hosting white supremacist, neo-Nazi, and other hateful content and argued that such content puts\u00a0Telegram\u00a0in violation of Apple’s terms of service for its app store.<\/p>\n

As the non-profit called for Telegram to be removed from both\u00a0Apple\u00a0and Google (a similar suit is planned against\u00a0Google, the Washington Post report said), the messaging app’s founder has put out a statement, shedding light on the company’s efforts to moderate content, and reiterating Telegram’s stand on peaceful debate and process. In his statement, Pavel Durov said that Telegram explicitly prohibits public calls for violence. “In the last 7 years, we\u2019ve consistently enforced this rule globally, from Belarus and Iran to Thailand and Hong Kong. \u0421ivil movements all over the world rely on Telegram in order to stand up for human rights without resorting to inflicting harm,” Durov said in the statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
