Telegram keeps getting yanked from the App Store. X never does — here’s why
Apple's App Store moderation policies appear to be applied inconsistently, with Telegram being removed for child sexual abuse material while X faced no delisting for similar deepfake content generated by its AI chatbot, Grok. This disparity is attributed to X's stronger political support in the US and a more direct engagement from Apple with its developers, including Elon Musk, compared to Telegram.
