Indian authorities have issued a 15-day compliance notice to Telegram, demanding the platform address widespread movie piracy. The government cites numerous channels facilitating the illegal distribution of copyrighted films. Failure to comply could result in Telegram being blocked within India, a significant market for the messaging app. Officials have requested Telegram proactively identify and remove infringing content, as well as provide contact information for rights holders. This action follows repeated complaints from the motion picture industry regarding substantial financial losses due to unauthorized sharing on Telegram. Telegram has yet to publicly respond to the notice, but is legally obligated to adhere to Indian laws concerning copyright infringement. The situation highlights escalating efforts by India to combat online piracy and protect intellectual property rights.
