This is the best summary I could come up with:


Telegram blamed the blocks on Google’s app store guidelines, according to a story in The Jerusalem Post.

Both Meta and X (formerly Twitter) have said they’ve taken action to block Hamas-linked accounts and limit the spread of misinformation about the war on their platforms.

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov wrote that he was hesitant to shut down Hamas-used channels in a post on October 13th, saying that “tackling war-related coverage is seldom obvious” and writing that Hamas had used Telegram a few days prior to warn civilians to evacuate an area before they attacked it.

CNN reported last week that the al-Qassam brigades channel’s followers tripled after its attack on Israel.

The report adds that many of those followers may not support Hamas but that the channel’s growth increases the odds of the group’s messages spreading beyond Telegram itself.

With the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) in force, governments in the bloc have enforcement power over most social media companies’ content moderation.
