Note that only US-companies are required by (US, I guess) law to join these programs.

Also note this part:

> IWF said that the company did remove CSAM once material was confirmed but said it was slower and less responsive to day-to-day requests.

So in the end Telegram removed the content.

I think it would be better if Telegram used the hash lists, however I think that they should use manual review and not remove content automatically, because this is an US platform that theoretically can be misused to remove legal content that US govt doesn't like.

Hash lists aren't that hard to defeat. They'll stop the amateurs tossing stuff around endlessly but the real problem--the creators--will know to keep changing it up a little bit.

And the capability to remove anything means they have to respond to secret orders from the government to remove something.
