Nooooooo!!!
Telegram has its own cloud storage where people keep important files, data, and saved messages.
It is used by many educational channels, crypto communities, marketplaces, and businesses that operate on a daily basis.
You cannot simply restrict access for millions of users for several days because of the actions of a few people.
Instead of focusing on the platform itself, the authorities should focus on finding the root cause of the problem and taking action against those responsible.
Restricting an app used by millions of legitimate users is not fair.
Indian telecom Reliance is sabotaging access to Telegram for millions of users OUTSIDE India (including the UAE) via a rogue method called BGP hijacking.
The sabotage seems intentional, as Reliance has ignored multiple reports.
This may be part of a competitive war, as Reliance is partially owned by Meta — the company behind WhatsApp.
Network operators are advised to reject unauthorized BGP announcements from Reliance (AS18101) to prevent route hijacks and ensure stable Internet access for their users.
Such abuse of global Internet routing is alarming. I wouldn’t be surprised if Reliance/WhatsApp were also behind the recent lobbying effort to ban Telegram in India.
India’s IT ministry banned Telegram for one week because some users shared leaked exam questions.
This punishes 150M+ ordinary Telegram users in India — not the insiders who leaked the exam materials.
And the ban hasn't stopped anything. The leaks just moved to other apps.

As the US talks about taking stakes in AI companies, The race for AI is not just about innovation. It is also about global power and influence.
AI can improve lives and increase productivity, but it can also be used for surveillance, cyber attacks, and military operations.
History shows that when countries compete for an advantage, technology often advances faster than regulations and rules.
Donald Trump told reporters that his team might buy US stakes in artificial-intelligence companies and said he would host a meeting with AI executives as soon as next week https://t.co/PEEBpte0jN
Sam Altman says AI may eventually be billed like electricity or water.
But if AI becomes a key tool for work, learning, and productivity, what happens to those who can barely afford their daily expenses?
The people with the most money will be able to use more AI, automate more work, and gain a larger advantage.
Could AI become another technology that increases inequality rather than reducing it?

One of the most important lessons in trading:
"Trade the market you have, not the market you want."
Your opinions don't move markets. Your ability to adapt does
