There is a problem with Telegram protocols and everyone will be adversely affected if this problem is not stopped quickly.
If the owner of a channel or group has deleted their Telegram account, management and ownership must be transferred to someone else (the owner can be the next admin) Just like Whatsapp
Also, if the sole owner of a channel and group is an admin and that admin has deleted their account, that group and channel should also be deleted completely. If no one else is present, a warning message should be sent. For example: "This channel or group will be deleted after 6 months. So don't forget to save messages"
If the channel was used for a violation, this channel/group username should be made available again after the content is deleted.
This event should be applied for all channels and groups. It should also cover channels and groups that were opened and abandoned years ago.
Important: When developing this protocol, it is necessary to consider the channels opened in the past.
I quite agree. But we should also add: if the owner's account has been deleted and he has several other admins, the priority should be with the admin who has most permission.

And I really agree to 3. The username should not be banned.

This is very important for existing groups (years old) where the admin is now gone. Without an admin the group can't add new features.

Apparently Telegram avoids enabling "automatic ownership transfer" after deletion or suspension of owner's account for scamming reasons where admins take over a group by reporting a scam conversation with owner and then blackmail owner after his account has been deleted. However, this threat is not of any value if the problem concerns Topics. Please see Making Admins To See Topics Toggle The Same As ... #27512 thread and like my suggestion so that old groups without owners also can enable their topics. Thank you guys

Can you tell me if there is any possibility to delete a channel or reuse its name in case the sole owner deleted his/her Telegram account? Or is it possible to restore the owner's Telegram account to get back to administering the channel? Thanks.

I was looking for those forums, because there's a ton of groups in geolocation that are abandoned. People either delete their accounts or simply abandon the group and they are filled with COUNTLESS bots. Those same bots are also on geolocation now. If only, when no other admins exist, those groups were deleted or if we could claim the ownership of the group...
