If it was encrypted, it wouldn't have been discovered in the first place. At least, not by google app reviewers.

You can take screenshots of encrypted content and the whole aspect of encryption is basically defeated if the channel itself is open to the public. This might not have been the case here, but there are people that infiltrate channels like this on purpose to report them to authorities and Google(?).
