That's not what 'suspended' means.
UAE would not protect an ordinary citizen like this.
it's also weird that uae, russia and others rely so much on this tech, esp given that it's probably compromised (both at central level and in individual conversations and groups level) (and private key encryption is moot in the latter case) and how easy it would be to develop a homegrown secure alternative

In fact, Russia has tried to ban Telegram in the past but accidentally ended up nuking the country's internet instead. Since then, they've lifted the ban since most people in Russia and neighbouring countries use this app.
It's also used widely in Iran and countries where there's government oppression.
