They were already known for being the creators of Vk, the Russian social network which they sold in 2014. Telegram was founded in 2013 by two Russian brothers, Pavel and Nikolai Durov. After making the necessary changes, Telegram was once more available on the Apple platform. But sending inappropriate material shouldn’t really be a surprise: the app’s standards of security and privacy are almost asking for this type of content. In this case too, after a few hours it was made clear that its removal was due to inappropriate material that circulated in Telegram’s channels–something that violates the guidelines of the Store. At first, no official communication was made, neither form Apple nor the Durov brothers. In fact, on January 31st, the app was removed from the app store, blocking iOS users from downloading it. This was not the only trouble for Telegram has had in the last few months. Within an hour, they tweeted again to confirm that the issue had been resolved. They promised to sort it as soon as possible and asked the European users have patience. Then on Twitter, the hashtag #telegramdown started trending, and the company tweeted a response to reassure everyone that they were working to solve the problem. The cause of the disruption was probably related to server problems. Down Detector revealed problems with access to Telegram in many parts of the European Union, as well as Russia and Iran. On March 5th, Telegram, the messaging app often considered more secure than WhatsApp reported disruptions to service.
