Potential Ban of Telegram in Indonesia and India

印尼和印度可能禁止 Telegram

Indonesia is contemplating banning Telegram due to allegations of disseminating harmful content, including pornography and online gambling. Indonesia has the third-largest Telegram user base globally, as per Demandsage data.

由於 Telegram 被指控傳播色情和線上賭博等有害內容，印尼正在考慮禁止 Telegram。根據 Demandsage 的數據，印尼擁有全球第三大 Telegram 用戶群。

Indonesia's Minister of Communication and Informatics, Budi Arie Setiadi, stated that Telegram initially promised to enhance content moderation but failed to implement effective regulations and provide timely responses. The minister remarked, "I would prefer to shut down Bigo Live and Telegram immediately, but further investigations are necessary."

印尼通訊和資訊學部長布迪·阿里·塞蒂亞迪表示，Telegram 最初承諾加強內容審核，但未能實施有效的監管並提供及時的回應。這位部長表示：“我希望立即關閉 Bigo Live 和 Telegram，但還需要進一步調查。”

Telegram faces a potential ban in Indonesia following accusations of promoting disturbing pornography and online gambling, as reported by Jakarta Globe. Indonesia's IT Minister, Rudiantara, indicated that social media activity is being restricted to mitigate the spread of misinformation and hoaxes during election protests.

根據《雅加達環球報》報道，Telegram 因被指控宣揚令人不安的色情內容和線上賭博而在印尼面臨可能的禁令。印尼資訊科技部長魯迪安塔拉表示，社群媒體活動受到限制，以減少選舉抗議期間錯誤訊息和惡作劇的傳播。

Allegations against Telegram include supporting terrorism-related activities, hate speech, radicalism, pornography, and gambling. Other countries that have previously blocked Telegram include Bahrain (2016), Russia, Iran, and Pakistan. Russia and Iran imposed bans in 2018, although Russia lifted its ban in 2020.

針對 Telegram 的指控包括支持恐怖主義相關活動、仇恨言論、激進主義、色情和賭博。其他先前封鎖 Telegram 的國家包括巴林（2016 年）、俄羅斯、伊朗和巴基斯坦。俄羅斯和伊朗於 2018 年實施了禁令，但俄羅斯於 2020 年取消了禁令。

Investigation of Telegram in India

印度 Telegram 調查

Following the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov in France over content moderation concerns, the Government of India has initiated an investigation into the app. The Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is conducting the investigation.

Telegram 執行長 Pavel Durov 因內容審核問題在法國被捕後，印度政府對該應用程式發起了調查。內政部（MHA）下屬的印度網路犯罪協調中心正在進行調查。

Digital rights activists have raised concerns regarding censorship, arguing that a ban on Telegram would stifle free speech, hinder small businesses, and infringe on user rights. India has a substantial Telegram user base, with an estimated 104 million users. A ban could significantly impact the app's largest user base.

數位權利活動人士對審查制度提出了擔憂，認為禁止 Telegram 將扼殺言論自由、阻礙小型企業並侵犯用戶權利。印度擁有龐大的 Telegram 用戶群，估計有 1.04 億用戶。禁令可能會嚴重影響該應用程式最大的用戶群。
