This is the best summary I could come up with:

Iraq’s telecom ministry lifted the ban on Telegram over the weekend, days after the agency blocked the chat app over security concerns.

Telegram has shown commitment to communicating with authorities about security concerns, the ministry said, insisting that it “doesn’t stand against freedom of expression.”

Telegram doesn’t share any private user data with Iraqi authorities, the messaging app operator told the publication.

Last week, Iraq banned the chat app saying that many channels were publishing citizen’s private data such as names, addresses, and family ties with other people.

At that time, the ministry said that Telegram — which has more than 800 million users globally — didn’t respond to its requests, and as a result, the country had banned the app.

In July, Amnesty International cautioned how the country’s draft laws could give the government the power to punish anyone who criticizes the authorities.

I’m a bot and I’m open source!

If it’s not E2E and decentralized you run the risk of snooping. Wasn’t a fan of Telegram before this.
