  "summary": "Telegram was briefly removed from Apple's App Store in multiple countries, including the United States, on Monday night. According to 9to5Mac, Apple stated that the app was removed after a review found content that violates its guidelines, specifically child sexual abuse material.\n\nThe app was restored after the developer removed the content and banned the user who posted it, according to Apple. Telegram has not commented on the reason for its removal.\n\nThe messaging app remains available on the Google Play Store, unaffected by the issue.",
