"Create" is used in several other strings, so this way it dodges the "set something in Settings" clunkiness

If you allow access, your contacts are continuously synced with Telegram. Thanks to this, you can easily switch to Telegram and immediately connect with friends across all your devices. We use data about your contacts to let you know when they join Telegram, and to display them by the name you set for them in your phone.

You can disable contact syncing or delete your stored contacts in Settings > Privacy & Security on Telegram's mobile apps.

Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done. Unlike other apps, Telegram does not use user data for ad targeting or other commercial purposes. Telegram only stores the information it needs to function as a feature-rich cloud service. You can adjust how your data is used in Privacy and Security settings.

If you are not comfortable with Telegram's modest needs, it won't be possible to continue service. You can deactivate your account now — or look around some more and deactivate it later if you feel you're not happy with the way your data is used.

Decline & Deactivate
lng_terms_decline_and_delete
Revisiting this: Android and macOS have Deactivate, iOS and TDesktop have Delete. They have different meanings (making an account dormant versus nuking it from orbit) -- are the different platforms actually doing different things here, or should they all be unified into deletion or deactivation?

Ban {user} from the channel?
lng_sure_ban_user_channel
This will force the user to leave, which is an external action.
"Ban user IN the channel" sounds like there will be some kind of action taken that the rest of the subscribers will be able to see, like a published service message, which is not the case.

lng_channels_too_much_public_about
Ah, I see now. The other apps show the selector on the same screen, so it makes sense to mention swtching in that phrase. With the present interface, TD is better without it.
