Banned from telegram with no explanation.

I made a comment on one telegram channel about Ukraine. And almost immediately got permabanned from telegram.

Like wth. Why so heavy handed? They could have just banned me from the channel, why entire telegram?

Is there any recourse other than getting a new phone number?

Never even heard of someone getting perma'd on telegram so it was probably something against their TOS or OP isn't telling the whole story.

Yeah. In my experience when people complain about being banned for "no reason" from a platform but don't post the actual comment that got them banned, it's because it would be blindingly obvious to everyone why they were banned if they actually posted it.

Just read his new comments. Total brainlet.

Explained in detail that fighting doesn't make sense and they should just surrender.

Without swears or anything.

Got it on top of the thread.

Got many upvotes and likes too but I suspect people reported it or something.

Since the dude got arrested in france they've been recruiting rando's to do moderation by just sending offers out trough a bot. I'm one of the people who got that message
