End-to-end encryption is an important feature in messaging, as it's the first step in protecting users from surveillance. But a Telegram statement also said: "Any requests related to political censorship or limiting human rights such as the rights to free speech or assembly are not and will not be considered."

It was an announcement stating that police had removed all posts on the channel because its content “contravenes the laws of Hong Kong.”
