The Delhi High Court has upheld the Centre’s decision to continue a temporary restriction on messaging platform Telegram, citing concerns over its alleged misuse during competitive examinations, including NEET.
The Centre has told the Delhi High Court that Telegram is increasingly being used for a range of illegal activities, describing the messaging platform as a “new dark web.” In an affidavit filed before the court, the government alleged that the platform enables cybercriminals and other unlawful actors to communicate, share illicit content and conceal their identities.
