Apple briefly removed Telegram from the App Store on August 3 after the messaging app was flagged for child sexual abuse material violations. Telegram CEO Pavel Durov claimed on August 4 that an extortionist had deliberately planted illegal content in a chat to manipulate Apple's takedown policies and force the app's removal. The app was restored shortly after, and Durov characterized the incident as a weaponization of App Store enforcement mechanisms by a bad actor seeking to extort the company.
