France censored them (how?), or Telegram censored?

At the request of governments, messenger blocks the display of "undesirable" channels in certain territories.
You can't see what is in the banned channels, although from other countries you can log in and read without problems
In Ukraine, channels with high-quality Russian analytics have been blocked for more than a year.
Only those channels with information that needs to be double-checked and with a small audience are now available.

There are some solutions to this problem, but I will not tell you how to bypass this blockage.

Thanks.

Well, use a VPN of course :-)

i always use one with permanent kill switch on.

VPN is useless in solving this problem
If account is linked to the phone number of fr country, and the gov-nt instructed to do so, all accounts linked in that country will have access to certain information disabled, regardless of where you are at the moment.
From an account linked to a French number, you will not see any banned groups from any IP

Ah, i see. So basically Telegram have agreed to censor due to government pressure, correct?

That's right, otherwise they'll get sued.
Usually popular banned channels immediately make mirrors of their channels, but you have to look for the links on the net

Ok. Thanks for info. i already use SimpleX, Session, Element (matrix protocol) & other encrypted messengers, but of course the brainwashed masses are very slow to change.

Are you interested in helping with a solution to most local and world issues?
