❓Why Telegram (TG) is Banning Channels and Groups in Bulk – Explained for Those Affected This cleanup is hitting users hard, so here's the full story behind why TG is banning thousands of channels and groups all at once. 🗣️ It all kicked off on November 13, 2025, right after Telegram founder Pavel Durov was freed by French authorities (they lifted his travel ban). From that day, Durov ordered a massive crackdown on illegal, copyright-infringing, and porn-related content across channels and groups. 🥸 TG's moderation team jumped into action with these bans: ⦁ Nov 13: Over 500,000 groups and channels banned. ⦁ Nov 14: More than 200,000. ⦁ Nov 15: Around 250,000. ⦁ Nov 16 (yesterday): Over 200,000. ✉️ That's the latest on the ongoing purge. For context, the last big record was on February 5, 2025, with over 490,000 chats removed—1.5 times more than the same date last month (October 13). If your group or channel got caught in this wave, don't rush to create a new one right away. Wait 1-2 days to let the dust settle, then try starting fresh to avoid instant flags.
