    Telegram Android is moderated because Google has to adhere to countries’ demand. Else they get banned operating in that region.

    And 99% people if not 99.999999% Android users use Play Store.

      This is true, but if I were interested in a channel and the government made Google block it, I would side-load Telegram and get around the block.

      So this is a token effort that won’t affect the people who actually want to see this content.
