It might also be due lobbying given that Telegram was recently in the news for being a popular medium of ISIS communication (not for the attack - as we know by now, but for its public channels)

Thank god. Not being able to paste/visit the link directly from WhatsApp surely prevents them from planning an attack over Telegram /s
I agree with you that Telegram has been in the news recently, but I doubt it's related with this incident.
