Star Health leak: Can only monitor accounts flagged to us, says Telegram

The messaging platform Telegram on Friday told an Indian court it cannot monitor all the accounts it hosts to look for leaked customer data from Indian insurer Star Health, and will only block problematic content that is flagged to it.

A lawyer representing Telegram said during Friday’s hearing that it would be in violation of Indian laws if it were to police all chatbots on the platform to identify leaked data.
