Messaging wunderkind said to be haven for extremists – and Silicon Valley gave it a pass, ex-ambassador complains Share Copy Marc Ginsberg, a former US ambassador who oversees a non-profit called Coalition for a Safer Web (CSW), sued Alphabet's Google subsidiary on Monday for failing to remove the Telegram Messenger app from its Google Play store. The complaint [PDF], filed in the Northern California District Court, claims that Telegram is rife with hate content but Google has failed to take action against the app as it did with Parler. Parler saw its Android and iOS apps removed from their respective stores and lost its web hosting for failing to moderate insurrectionist content earlier this month.
