Apple briefly removed Telegram from the App Store after reviewing content that violated its policies on child sexual abuse material and restored the app after Telegram removed the material and banned the user, Apple said. The Telegram-linked token Gram fell about 6.4% to $1.32 from $1.41 after the removal and recovered to about $1.40, according to CoinGecko. Telegram posted on X, "Reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated," followed by an apple emoji. The platform is also facing legal action in Russia and Australia; Russian authorities are pursuing a terrorism-related charge against founder Pavel Durov, while Australia's eSafety Commissioner has launched court proceedings alleging failures to remove terrorism-related material. The incident underscores how app store policies affect cryptocurrency token values and the continued examination of messaging platforms' content moderation.
