The Indian government issued a notice to Telegram under the Information Technology Act, 2000, to remove pirated content after identifying 3,142 channels distributing copyrighted films and OTT content. The directive demanded removal within three hours. Meanwhile, Australia fined Telegram A$1 million for failing to respond to a notice about steps taken to address terrorist, extremist, and child sexual exploitation material on the platform, followed by a separate infringement notice of almost $1 million for similar delays. Russian authorities have also fined Telegram for not removing calls for extremist activities and anti-government protests.
