Description
Why was Telegram blocked in India? Can the government really ban or block an app used by millions?
In this short video, we explain the legal framework behind app bans and content blocking in India, including Section 69A of the IT Act, Section 79 and the Safe Harbour principle, the IT Rules 2021, and the ongoing Telegram vs Government case linked to the NEET controversy.
