Intelligence Summary
Telegram briefly disappeared from Apple’s App Store for about an hour this week. Apple said it removed the app due to the presence of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The app was restored after the alleged CSAM content was removed. The incident has renewed questions about how Apple applies moderation rules across platforms and companies. Users who rely on Telegram should be aware that platform enforcement can temporarily disrupt access.
