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.
Crypto in India is officially cooked. 🇮🇳🔥
30% tax.
1% TDS.
No loss set-off.
And now Telegram is inaccessible too?
My entire workflow was on Telegram:
• Team chats
• Founder conversations
• Partnership discussions
• Community management
I don’t even have some founders’ numbers outside TG.
How is Web3 supposed to build in India like this?
MP defected
MLA defected
Councillors defected
Mayor defected
She didn't bow and now she hit the streets for Bulldozer action against Vendor & Hawkers
This is textbook definition of Opposition
Gadkari is screwing your vehicles up with Ethanol
Nirmala is sucking up money via taxes
Pradhan is destroying future of students
Modi can not control inflation
Amit Shah is busy in breaking political parties
Laser minister has screwed foreign policy
The worst govt in the history of independent India.
India is basically a Schrodinger's Economy: everything is banned. But, everything is unbanned.
Example: Cryptos.
There is no clarity-- only confusion.
It is not banned. But, feels banned.
We can all have our opinions on betting, alcohol, derivatives.
But, once you start banning things in the name of morality/risk--- there is no end to "expanding" this circle.
- Today it is betting/gambling;
- Tomorrow it would be entire social media;
- Day After it could be banning public gatherings.
Justification can be built about anything.
We either have a free market or we don't.
There is no middle path here.
