Telegram Ban In India: CEO Says Huge Conspiracy!

It is already known that the government of India has imposed a dedicated ban on social media platform Telegram. This is primary due to the fact that the Indian government believes that telegram application is being used by perpetrators to share the NEET exam question paper leaks.

Now the CEO of this social media platform has suspected a huge conspiracy theory involving one of the biggest companies in India and also across the globe.

Pavel Durov says Reliance is using a method called BGP hijacking, a technique where a company corrupts internet routing tables to redirect or block traffic from specific apps and websites.

In simple terms, Reliance is manipulating how internet traffic flows globally to cut off access to Telegram for users in countries like the UAE. This is the allegation that is made by the Telegram CEO while reacting on this matter.

Durov says this appears intentional because Reliance has ignored multiple reports flagging the issue.

He is also calling on all network operators worldwide to reject unauthorized routing announcements from Reliance to stop the hijacking and restore normal internet access for their users.

Durov suspects both Reliance and Meta are jointly behind the recent lobbying effort to get Telegram banned in India entirely.
