Pavel Durov, founder of the Telegram messaging app, said on Tuesday that by temporarily banning Telegram in the country, the Indian authorities have “punished” over 150 million ordinary users in India.
The ban has not stopped anything and the leaks “simply moved to other apps”, Durov said.
India has temporarily blocked the Telegram messaging app, saying it was used to try to defraud candidates for a national medical entrance test, which had already been hit by allegations of leaked papers last month that led millions of results to be cancelled.
