Apple threatened to remove Telegram from their app store if they refused to comply with our DMCA notice.

That’s really cool (but also sad you had to go that far)

At that point I was kind of hoping they wouldn't comply. Would be amazing PR ;D

That would have been really cool, and great publicity.

Thanks for the explanation. Wow. Sounds like a whole lot of strings of all colors had to be pulled for that.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

How did Apple get involved? And why did you even dream that Apple would help, that you contacted them? Anyways I'm glad it worked out.

I actually think it was related to inappropriate content being displayed.

 But in the back of my head I think I remember something like that. Originally I thought Dan decided to contact Apple to give them more fuel for their fire against Telegrams (or some other company) policies.

From my inbox
Quote
Person A: Hi, I noticed that the unofficial Dansdeals channal from telegram was suspended... however I happend to like that one better than the official one because it actually gave a more detailed  description of the deal since it was reposting from Twitter... however the official dansdeals telegram channel is posting as an abbreviated version of the  website therefore it does not post on the telegram Channel a detailed description of the deals can you see somehow that the dansdeals telegram Channel shall post or repost from the Twitter account?

Me: Why do you think I'm capable of that?

Person A: My gut feeling....
Person A: I'll be happy if you just convey that message to Dan....

Me: Are you not in DDF?

Person A:I Like to use shortcuts...

Me: I'm not a shortcut

Person A: Ha
Person A: Really?
Person A: Regardless i think the telegram  channel should be changed to provide a more detailed description of the deal
almost seems like he thinks I'm Dan. I probably should have had some fun with that.

He's lost deep in my whatsapps. I don't even know him, or why he has these assumptions.
