Telegram does moderation of political content they don’t like.
Also Telegram does have means to control whatever they want.
And sometimes they also hide certain content from select regions.
Thus - if they make such decisions, then apparently CP and such are in their interest. Maybe to collect information for blackmail by some special services (Durov went to France from Baku, and Azerbaijan is friendly with Israel, and Mossad is even suspected of being connected to Epstein operation), maybe just for profit.

Do you have any links/sources about this? I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just interested
No, but they do sometimes delete channels for gore and such. I remember a few Azeri channels being banned for this during/after 2020 war.
About having means - well, with server-side stored unencrypted everything it’s not a question.
About hiding channels per region by governmental requests - I’ve heard about that on Lemmy.
Where did you get that the data on the servers are not encrypted?
You are, ahem, not decrypting it when getting history and not encrypting it when uploading files. That should be sufficient.
Anyway, look at TG Desktop sources. They are crap, but in general it’s clear what happens there. At least that’s how I remember it.
Thank you, really appreciate it!
