BREAKING: Telegram's founder accuses India's biggest telecom company of secretly blocking Telegram for millions of users outside India.

Pavel Durov says Reliance is using a method called BGP hijacking, a technique where a company corrupts internet routing tables to redirect or block traffic from specific apps and websites.

In simple terms, Reliance is manipulating how internet traffic flows globally to cut off access to Telegram for users in countries like the UAE.

Durov says this appears intentional because Reliance has ignored multiple reports flagging the issue.

He is also calling on all network operators worldwide to reject unauthorized routing announcements from Reliance to stop the hijacking and restore normal internet access for their users.

Durov suspects both Reliance and Meta are jointly behind the recent lobbying effort to get Telegram banned in India entirely.

No law can replace good parenting.

Parents already have the tools to limit kids’ digital consumption: parental controls, screen-time limits — or no smartphone at all.

Instead, many parents give toddlers iPads just to keep them quiet.

No amount of regulation will fix that.

Banning social media for teenagers only puts them in greater danger.

Teens are forced to switch to VPNs — and unlock far worse illegal content.

We’ve seen this before. When the Russian government banned Telegram, 95% of Russian teenagers kept using it. They just moved to VPNs.

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.

The same judiciary that recently sentenced a YouTuber to 6 months in jail for his “tanashahi” remark, believes that calling women journalists r*ndi does not warrant an FIR because the abuse was in a form of a shayari.

Then we wonder why we are dealing with a rape epidemic.

This might be the smartest $100 million Reliance ever spent.

Let me explain everything about the ProPublica investigation that dropped today.

Let's start with the problem Reliance had.

Through most of last year, the Trump administration was at war with the Ambani energy empire. Tariffs on India kept climbing.

The stated reason was Russian oil.

Reliance runs the biggest refining complex in the world at Jamnagar, and it was buying massive amounts of discounted Russian crude. Washington made Reliance the face of that fight.

So the Ambanis had a very expensive problem. American policy was squeezing their core business.

Now watch what happened next.

In late November, Donald Trump Jr. flew to Jamnagar. Anant Ambani personally took him around Vantara, the family's private zoo.

At night the two of them danced garba together, smiling for the cameras. A nice friendly visit between two famous families. Nothing unusual on the surface.

Four months later, a tiny Texas company called America First Refining announced it had received at least $100 million from Reliance.

America First Refining wants to build the first major new oil refinery in America in 50 years. Sounds ambitious. But the company had been trying and failing to raise money for years. It kept missing deadlines. It kept changing its name. Its founder had been sued for fraud multiple times and had a history of bankruptcy.

Serious energy investors had looked at this project and walked away.

And Reliance, one of the most sophisticated energy companies on the planet, a company that knows refining better than almost anyone alive, suddenly wired this struggling startup nine figures.

What had happened was that Donald Trump Jr. had secretly bought a stake in America First Refining.

Nobody knew. The size of his stake and what he paid for it are still unknown. But the company's top executives say they talk to him regularly. He personally joined their pitch meeting with Saudi investors in South Florida.

And after the Reliance money was announced, his own lawyer went on social media and took credit for helping make the deal happen.

So the president's son owned a piece of the company. Then the company that was getting crushed by the president's tariffs put $100 million into it.

Once this was done, the favours started flowing almost immediately.

ProPublica got internal emails from the Texas environmental agency handling the startup's permit.

One official wrote, need to get this one logged and processed asap. Another wrote, you can guess if you check out the name. The permit was approved the next day. The agency says it was just because the paperwork was good. You can decide how convincing that is.

Then came the big wins.

In February, India finally got its trade deal with the United States after months of pain. Reliance got a license to buy Venezuelan oil. And after the Iran war, India got an early waiver to keep buying Russian crude, the exact thing the tariff fight was supposedly about.

There is more history here too.

Reliance paid the Trump Organization a $10 million development fee back in 2024 for a project that has never been announced. Ivanka Trump was a guest at Anant's wedding. Mukesh Ambani sat at Trump's second inauguration.

Forbes estimated in December that Trump Jr.'s net worth jumped from roughly $50 million to $300 million since the election. That estimate only counts investments that are publicly known. The America First Refining stake was not publicly known until today. Which raises the obvious question of how many more deals like this exist that we have not found yet.

Trump Jr.'s spokesperson says he is just a passive minority investor with no operational role. Maybe.

But passive investors do not usually join Saudi pitch meetings or have lawyers claiming credit for nine figure deals.

For India, Reliance is not some side player. It is the largest company in the country. Its decisions shape our energy security, our trade position, and our stock market.

It is a big travesty if our biggest corporate house has to route $100 million through the American president's son to get fair treatment on trade.

Every Indian exporter who suffered through those tariffs paid the real price of the tariffs, while this deal sat hidden.

For Reliance shareholders, was this $100 million an investment decision or an insurance payment?

Because the project it funded looks unbuildable, but the policy wins that followed look priceless.

A $100 million cheque to a broken refinery. Billions in tariff relief flowing back. Some trades only make sense once you see who is on the other side of them.

Translation : Marital rape in India is apparently a necessity for men’s mental health.

A woman’s body whether recovering from surgery, healing from childbirth, torn open and stitched back together, is still LEGALLY required to be available.

A wife with pelvic floor repair? Available.

A wife with recurring infections because he won’t let her heal from the last one? Available.

A wife whose BV keeps returning because her husband’s bacteria keeps reinfecting her? Available.

A wife who simply doesn’t want to? Also available. Because apparently that’s not a reason (enough or at all). That’s a crime.

The court looked at a woman’s post-surgical body, her infected body, her exhausted body, her body that just said no and only saw a husband’s inconvenience.

They didn’t rule on his cruelty. They ruled on hers.

Her body is not a marital asset. But Indian law, just like Indian men hasn’t evolved.

Founder of meme page CJP, Abhijit Dipke was flashing a book with title ‘My Autobiography’ along with Babasaheb Ambedkar photo, he wanted to copy Rahul Gandhi Ji’s style but he doesn’t even know anything about Ambedkar Ji.

Babasaheb has written only one autobiography titled as ‘waiting for visa’. The book shown by Dipke is published by Prabhat Prakashan which is deeply associated with RSS.

Is it sanyog or prayog…?

[Aditya Goswami @AdityaGoswami_]

Farmers, wrestlers, teachers, youth, students & activists have repeatedly been denied permission to protest under Modi Govt. Yet, a certain individual received permission as effortlessly as a visa on arrival.

And we’re still made to believe that none of this is state sponsored?
