Tell HN: Telegram is most likely doing client side scanning; I quit Telegram

For years I have ignored warnings around Telegram being "unencrypted". Though, for unknown reasons, they first banned my account and then recently, "restricted" my account. Yesterday, I had a private chat with someone and based on specific keywords, Telegram suddenly "restricted" my account. While not explicitly "censorship" (or even remotely illegal), Telegram is likely doing scanning in private chats. This was a red line and I quit the platform.
