Forkgram and Mercurygram seem to be missing the advertising anti-feature tag

ruby: > the developers of forkgram expressed that they are not removing the advertising to stay compliant with telegram’s terms in this issue. It’s hard to blame those app devs for trying to comply with Telegram ToS since if they do not do that, they are potentially putting their user’s accounts at risk. Telegram will often kill off accounts with no warning, no explanation and no recourse if they decide that the user is violating their ToS. Like it or not, the ads are a standard Telegram “feature”. (I don’t like them either, but if the choice is between that or having my account, all my contacts, chats, personal channels, groups and history unrecoverably deleted, I’ll either put up with them or use their paid account.)
