At various times, most social media platforms have received criticism for alleged failure to prevent distribution of copyright-infringing content. Few, however, have been threatened with widespread blocking more often than Telegram.

A Malaysian minister now says that Telegram is ready to fight piracy.

    That’s different, free speech is not about putting people on danger.
