Has this happened to anyone else? I didn’t update my phone recently, so Telegram appears to be censoring and deleting conspiracy theorist/anti-MSM accounts now too.
Absolutely any social networking app that wants your phone number to work or register is a total BigBrother crap. Without any exception. All of them are crap. Don't use them. Dot.
There are a lot of much better open and decentralised alternatives to use, where even a way to ban you does not exist at all.
Because I have like three back-up burner lines. The number I provided for Telegram is one I don’t need, just surprised they banned it because it was supposed to be more open speech. Oh well.

Which ones?
ZeroNet, Tox, XMPP, IRC, e-mail, RSS, i2p, retroshare, etc.
I'm not surprised by anything with big tech.
But they did you a favor anyway, why would you want to give up your telephone number to join a social media website?

if you are even remotely surprised at the fuckery that these social media/messenger apps commit at this point you’re just being fucking silly.
You do realize Telegram is an israeli mossad spying front?
Telegram servers are in Dubai/UAE! UAE is just another israeli controlled district, Ben Zayed has even given many israelis UAE passports.
