Can you point me to similar Facebook/Whatsapp groups ? Because they are usually pretty aggressive about acting on inciteful content.
How about we consider any website accessible through Safari? Is Apple going to start blocking users from viewing those?

#23A problem hk faced as well. But to threat to shut down telegram is not the right move. You do not kill a platform.
Not for me, I use a Linux phone (Sailfish OS) with no Google. Not for real activists (criminals in the eyes es of oppressive governments like Chaina, Belarus, Russia, Iran, Turkey, ...) who will always find their way. But for 98% of any population.

#24What next? Taking down Netflix shows that show apple in a bad manner?

Don't be so optimistic. Apple and Google are a duopoly to control mobile messaging (outside of China). Not for me, I use a Linux phone (Sailfish OS) with no Google.
