Telegram CEO warns apps after Apple takes down his app, shares 2 important lessons

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov warned apps against "takedown extortionists" using illegal content to extort ransom from owners of public groups in exchange for not targeting them. He said the same happened with Telegram, which led to the hours-long takedown. Sharing two "important" lessons, he said extortionists have found ways to manipulate Apple into "overreacting" and that their tactics are evolving.
