India Sends Telegram Legal Notice Over Pirated Films and Shows

The Indian government has issued a formal notice to Telegram over the widespread sharing of pirated films and television shows on its platform. Authorities are demanding that the messaging app go beyond removing individual channels and instead build stronger systems to detect and eliminate copyright-infringing content. This latest action follows earlier concerns about Telegram being used for illegal activities, including fraud and distribution of harmful material. The government has given Telegram a 15-day deadline to submit a compliance and action report.
