Telegram founder Pavel Durov said India had punished more than 150 million people by banning its app.

Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, stated that India's temporary ban on the messaging app has affected over 150 million users, whom he described as being 'punished.' The ban was implemented due to allegations of cheating in a national medical entrance exam, which led to the annulment of millions of results. Durov noted that the ban did not stop information flow, as it simply shifted to other apps.

Основателят на приложението за размяна на съобщения Телеграм Павел Дуров заяви днес, че с временната забрана на приложението властите в Индия „са наказали“ повече от 150 милиона редови потребители в страната, предаде Ройтерс.

Забраната не е спряла нищо и изтичането на информация „просто се е преместило към други приложения“, добави Дуров.

Индия временно блокира Телеграм, като посочи за причина за това, че приложението се използва с цел измама от кандидати в национален приемен изпит по медицина, който миналия месец бе засегнат от обвинения в изтичане на документи, което доведе до анулирането на милиони резултати.
