Do you have any links/sources about this? I'm not saying you’re wrong, I’m just interested

No, but they do sometimes delete channels for gore and such. I remember a few Azeri channels being banned for this during/after 2020 war.
About having means - well, with server-side stored unencrypted everything it's not a question.
About hiding channels per region by governmental requests - I've heard about that on Lemmy.
Thank you, really appreciate it!
Where did you get that the data on the servers are not encrypted?
You are, ahem, not decrypting it when getting history and not encrypting it when uploading files. That should be sufficient.
Anyway, look at TG Desktop sources. They are crap, but in general it's clear what happens there. At least that's how I remember it.
