TELEGRAM ADMITS IT CAN'T POLICE EXAM-LEAK CHANNELS

According to India's filing, Telegram admitted it lacks the technical capability to automatically identify and police channels distributing stolen exam content. The government issued a warning to the platform approximately 14 days before implementing the ban. Telegram has contested the blockade, claiming it cooperated with authorities and that the ban is unlawful. The company has not detailed what specific cooperation measures it took in response to India's concerns. The case highlights growing tension between global messaging platforms and governments over content moderation. India has increasingly pushed tech companies to take responsibility for illegal activity conducted through their services, particularly exam fraud schemes that impact millions of students. The Delhi High Court is evaluating whether Telegram's acknowledged limitations justify the government's decision to block access to the platform across the country.
