Centre directs Telegram to crack down on pirated content, seeks action report within 15 days
The Centre has issued a notice to messaging platform Telegram, directing it to curb the widespread circulation of pirated films, OTT content and other copyrighted audio-visual material on its platform, government officials said on Saturday.
According to a PTI report, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has sought an Action Taken Report (ATR) from Telegram within 15 days, signalling what officials described as a shift in the government’s approach from individual content takedowns to holding platforms accountable for preventing piracy.
