| /u/Positive_Profile_135 A long conversation. https://preview.redd.it/stn54lncbs7h1.jpeg?width=1164&f ormat=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8bb6ef7cfb5b6054529d6d75fcffd2f7 05d07e2 |
| /u/Revolutionary_Log874 Breathing is already practically banned in Delhi lol |
| /u/kas-623 They will charge on winter |
| /u/FrierenisClairDeLune And the punishment is a slow death |
| /u/frostxmritz Yeh sab dekh ke X hi na ban kardey, these buffoons 🤦🏼♂️🤡 |
| /u/Flimsy-Ranger3807 Modi fir khudki tarif kaha karega? Xhamster par, 😆 |
| /u/raw-shan It's too hot. Please ban sun from rising. |
| /u/EvenAd8214 Honestly, I wouldn't blame them for panicking after losing over 100 million plus users overnight. Their ad revenue is going to nosedive harder than their dreams of launching telegram as an IPO. Following in the footsteps of China, Russia, and Iran, India might seriously be the next country to permanently ban Telegram especially after that the UN has officially labeled the platform a primary, unregulated ecosystem for international crime syndicates. Do students care about this? No. We've always just used WhatsApp and Insta anyway. Leftists are the only ones crying about it but then again, one day they'll support international platforms and the next day they'll hate them, depending on whatever fits their agenda. |
| /u/Jazzifyy Do students care about this? |
| /u/EvenAd8214 What are you using telegram for? That WhatsApp or insta can't do? |
| /u/EvenAd8214 Bruh, I meant by students during an exam. Also, that low quality stuff is weak, the internet is filled with some really high quality stuff. You can get some HDR DV content. Plus, Telegram download speed is like the pre 2014 3G era level. |
| /u/destructo_6t9 I'm just telling you what most "students" use TG for. When I say piracy, I mean links that redirect to piracy websites for downloads. |
| /u/Jazzifyy The point was to resist stupid government interventions and not "oH bUt NoOnE uSeS TELEGRAM aNyWAys". |
| /u/EvenAd8214 Oh, sorry. I didn't know we were hating without logic. Go on ahead. |
| /u/zqwz These type of bans are just a way for govt to shift the blame to someone other than themselves. It puts telegram on the spotlight. You and I can see through it and realize it is foolish. But for 99.9% of people who are not technsavvy, this is strict govt action against the culprit. And that is why it is done, because govt knows it is very effective to show they took some strong action. And thus feel like they are in control of the situation. Govt also made it Airforce's duty to transport the question papers from now on so that people think it is the transportation that was the issue, and since people tend to trust the military blindly, this looks like a definitive action. It also absolves govt of future leaks to some extend. Any activity done by military is not investigable by outsiders, so any future leaks also remain classified One more thing to ponder. If current leaks happened because leak got too mainstream, is it possible that rich and influential people like politicians kid had secret access to question papers for past many years, and just that we did not catch it? If it were me, I would investigate every politicians kid who got into premier institutions in past several years. |
| /u/Adventurous-Feed-197 how long before the blame of these leaks goes to civic sense of Indians somehow lol |
| /u/musci12234 Of course. If people had civic sense paper wouldn't get leaked. Paper get leaked in India every day but they never get leaked in China and Japan. It is responsibility of peoe to learn civic sense. Don't know why govt is expected to do everything like enforcing basic law and order, arrest corrupt people etc. |
| /u/Adventurous-Feed-197 you dont "learn" civic sense automatically, its not some gene, decades of quality education is required, do we have that, have we ever, whose responsibility is it? we are diverse, alot, and since years on years we've been segregated and hated each other, in such a low trust society, why the hell would you expect us to become Japan and China? this is such a dumb excuse passed on to save the government's face This has to be a joke XD |
| /u/NoApple8581 The above comment IS a joke, dude. They're being sarcastic. |
| /u/Adventurous-Feed-197 thank god lol enough reddit for today |
| /u/zqwz Yes, because it is security-theater. Makes it worse for everyone, while not having any effectiveness. https://preview.redd.it/t3ip7idkjs7h1.png?width=1678&fo rmat=png&auto=webp&s=c3f0478cf61147a612ea4523b7751919415 98777 |
| /u/sed_life19 Any ban can be bypassed by vpn thts the point of vpn, could you elaborate more on what's even a proper ban? |
| /u/Walt925837 Maybe we should all invest in creating a VPN server. Cheap and effective. You can probably keep it always on. |
| /u/musci12234 I feel like govt believes the re neet paper got leaked and by pushing blame on to the apps they can pre built a narrative about how it is all due to these apps |
| /u/Sweaty_Explorer_8441 what about changing DNS |
| /u/Eagle__Gunner How long will these gimmicks work. People are becoming more and more aware of these antics. |
| /u/yxk__0zvnb9pl politicians kids study outside |
| /u/Narender_moody This is the most India thing ever. I went to my local park for a run. The guard there stops me and says "running is not allowed in the park". I ask him why and his reply is that some guy ran into an old lady and had a collision. A year back. Post which he decided to take matters into his own hands and enforce the no running law. Not the govt. Not BBMP. Him. Cuz people running in parks is the problem. Genius strategy /s |
| /u/Historical-Jump huh? how does that work local park means public property right how can anyone tell you what to do |
| /u/FutureAccording7353 NTA will literally do everything except secure an actual exam paper. |
| /u/Redd1897 https://preview.redd.it/blnbwgk0hs7h1.jpeg?width=720&for mat=pjpg&auto=webp&s=59099e6e021b9994af5407f614731e6a027 bab00 |
| /u/Thouimagine1035 Well... Seems reasonable |
| /u/musci12234 Considering the number of exams that happen in India India can afford to have a dedicated system for generating papers from massive question bank in a completely automated way with end to end printing and transmission for online exam. |
| /u/Subject-Duty6324 Telegram did direct Slap on face of those who accused telegram for paper leaks 😂 |
| /u/Many_Bench_2560 but bro your username and profile photo ??!!💀 |
| /u/Chico_911 I was traumatised for a sec wtf |
| /u/batman8232 and that's why he is upset to know tg is banned |
| /u/hap_mod Dumbest move in Tech. |
| /u/Eagle__Gunner The leak is from the inside. Instead of using digital examinations why is there still a pen and paper exam. Let the system decide which paper will be served on the exam date. This can be done but no let us ban the internet for a exam which does not relate to 99percent of people. Next what ban internet for college exams, upsc. Brains dead people are administering this country. |
| /u/NeoTheMask And they go empty pockets ? They didn't come into this for such ideas. They are the perpetrators, thieves of pit bottom level. |
| /u/Soft-Development-538 https://preview.redd.it/qxsvpsd0ns7h1.jpeg?width=1080&fo rmat=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd7b74f5c79a6b2148a12c0c14f3e11973 ee670a |
| /u/missedOpportunity343 The ban is irrelevant to exams. BJP is just testing the waters by guaging how youth reacts to the temporary ban. Nepal exploded with social media restrictions. BJP tests water first before banning something. Just like they started designating some days as "veg-only" days in certain places. in preparation for completely mark some festive days as veg only. always test the waters with a long stick. |
| /u/wanderingacademician just jumping on the bandwagon and capitalising it. |
| /u/Kaushik_paul45 Seems like he was asking a question. His statement ended with ? Probably what he meant was "are we really considering telegram ban as masterstroke". |
| /u/shubc30 Also the other thing is, telegram messages are encrypted, end to end, unlike WhatsApp on which unencrypted key is available, so if there might be an paper leak through WhatsApp, cyber security can track those person. Kudos to telegram for such heavy encryption |
| /u/Overpoweredpixel Just proves how weak our system is, to all those top companies perspective |
| /u/tandoori_rice Karma dedo post Krna h |
| /u/sachin_root Tf bruh your username 😵💫 |
| /u/sanguisxq13v Agar NEET jaisa paper leak hoskta hai toh ye chunnu munnu government exams ke paper kese bach skte hai😂 EVM kese bach sakta hai? |
| /u/brownRice7 Why don't they just remove all the ministers given their is so much corruption |
| /u/Okay_NVM_ Seriously our govt has no shame, always finding someone else to blame for their failures.... |
| /u/suryavanshi_arya I get the govt job hype now. As long as you can navigate the internal cancerous dehati politics, regardless of how retarded you are, or how much of a POS you are, you will be blameless. Oh also the side income(bribe) to do the job you are paid for by the taxpayer |
| /u/Darth_Kumbidi Typical Indian babu attitude, if something does not work, just ban it. They just haven't got in them to enforce law and order |
| /u/Oldnbold22 India has a cheating cultural problem. |
| /u/Walt925837 All hail Pavel Durov! |
| /u/john_mccalliste https://preview.redd.it/kxysiby5ls7h1.jpeg?width=1640&fo rmat=pjpg&auto=webp&s=454c8a8a780624b0be79bf776685d0d322 fb7b73 |
| /u/Zestyclose-Aioli-869 Telegram should just add bjp or modi to it's tweets, then watch the drama 😝 |
| /u/Unnecessary-Cum Yaar wo toh puch raha tha lekin |
| /u/Motor_Internet5185 Holy cow, how many Indian subs are there and why are they always shoving them in my face. I mute dozens of them every week |
| /u/Pretty_Piccolo2010 That is a world-class roast from Telegram, but realistically, how does the government expect to enforce a ban when every student in India already knows how to use a basic proxy or VPN to bypass ISP blocks anyway ? |
| /u/aisekaise13 they will ban them on twitter also for speaking against them |
| /u/kenjikazama777 Why is Indian government picking a fight with Russia now that US literally selectively targeted Indian sailors in gulf? Indian sailors are all saying that US is selectively targeting them. |
| /u/Soft-Author3729 Man, companies trolling the govt was the last thing on the list 😂😂😂😂 |
| /u/Dry_Management8891 We use telegram for our internal office work since covid now today we had to start using microsoft teams and the transition is such a pain. Can't wait till 30th June when government again lifts up the ban. |
| /u/ajdude711 That's why someone said by the people for the people. Government hai he yha k logo k liye best |
| /u/BeatenwithTits MFS hate the man to the point, they'll make anyone their dad |
| /u/Humble_Rain209 😂 jinko nahi pata chalna hoga usko bhi pata chal gaya ab to 😂 |
| /u/Successful_Purple885 The gov forgot this exists |
| /u/Lucius_Kartos Please ban the exams, papers are leaking. Start taking bribe openly |
| /u/Ok_East1531 Btw it's working with vpn, so all they need to do is install one more free app to have it working. |
| /u/GodsN0tD3ad We will never be a developed country with clowns running the show. |
| /u/iamdj_75 https://preview.redd.it/iynwnka1at7h1.jpeg?width=1080&fo rmat=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0615d45a522ac24ad439763c7ed58c45b4 c5e598 |
| /u/abhijithekv International bezzati |
| /u/Extremep66 And ban internet because hackers hack with it |
| /u/Akuma_Kami_666 They can use vpn to bypass telegram blocking in india |
| /u/TigerAnxious9161 Telegram should also include some officials handle |
| /u/nish4399 Congratulations people of India, we are at fully incompetent level |
| /u/Medium_Fortune_7649 Kaddu ban, I can access it with free VPN |
| /u/PrettiestSpring too embarrassing to belong to a beautiful country ruled by such govt bhaarat mai sharminda hu |
| /u/Silver_Seaweed5890 Then give govt access to your app telegram? 💀 Why are they trynna play victim card and people are dih riding aswelll |
| /u/AuthorisedRedditUser If they roast like this, Then Indian Govt may impose Permanent Ban and say edtech companies to build a same typo replicate made in India Telegram. Why can't they just resist for 3 days, as the ban will be lifted as stated on Monday. |
| /u/Paper_OCD why should one accept censorship |
| /u/Ok_Breath7325 So we have lost the right to not disagree. Damn https://preview.redd.it/ok1s5n8aes7h1.jpeg?width=216&fo rmat=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8418a39a421f93f2ef1e04f9c18728de62 29ebb1 |
| /u/Im_a_PeakyBlinder It's a valid crash out by telegram because the government is still not sure that paper won't leak. They should also ban whatsapp, reddit, quick share, airdrop and all because the paper can leak from anywhere. |
| /u/thehroshaktimaan So now the primary concern of everyone is not about stoppage of leakage of exam paper but about the steps taken by govt to stop it. Everyone wants everything but no one wants a simple discomfort. They have agencies with them, they must have some info for banning it..this apple and oranges logic does not work everywhere.. security agencies block social media, internet during riots etc..do we bash them at that time too? |
| /u/EvenAd8214 After China, Russia, Iran, etc., I think India might be next to permanently ban Telegram. Telegram will be sour as their dream of launching an IPO will remain just a dream after losing 100 million users. Pirated low quality (360p-480p) content enjoyers will also be sad to lose their low quality stuff. |
| /u/Organic_Pattern9743 I get the trolling of the government. But Telegram taking the moral high ground here is comical given the fact that they haven't been able to stop all types of criminal activities on their app- piracy, child porn, terrorism, black market, literally everything. |
| /u/sreekanth850 Shopping Malls doesn't orchestrate for mass violence or any such illegal activities, they operate according to the law of the land. But telegram does orchestrate for piracy at a larger scale. Why do you think piratebay founders were jailed? |
| /u/CandidateNo9453 Real ID se aao IT Cell |
| /u/sreekanth850 Ha Ha. IB here. Tracking who are defending. |
| /u/Livid_Setting_7104 So banning telegram will solve all issues? We should shut the whole internet then. |
| /u/sreekanth850 So jailing a criminal will end all criminal activities? if not why do we jail them? Internet is like world, it doesn't orchestrate piracy, it's done by such app that orchestrate piracy. if its again the elaw of land it has to be banned. Do you know how much movies are got out in teelgram? |
| /u/Livid_Setting_7104 You are right. Ban telegram. Don't catch the source. There is no other source of communication in the country so this help prevent the leak . /s |
| /u/sreekanth850 Yes. Take drug trafficking, for example. If the system cannot track the root source, by your logic, the carrier should not be caught. But do they arrest carriers, or do they let them go simply because they are unable to track the source? I still don't understand your issue. Telegram is a hub for piracy, just like The Pirate Bay. Why are you supporting piracy? Catching the source is a separate problem. |
| /u/Livid_Setting_7104 Why do you think leak can't happen through WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and on this very platform reddit? Telegram is a messaging platform like them all. You think piracy don't happen on other platforms? By your logic , if this is such a good decision, why not ban internet itself? 😂 |
| /u/sreekanth850 Because WhatsApp is essentially tied with a phone number and anything can be tracked to the source identity due to KYC. Telegram is not like that. And Insta and FB are not end to end encrypted on their DMs. |
| /u/Livid_Setting_7104 What if someone get an international number? Banning a messaging app is stupid. If you are not getting it, then fine. Be happy, take care . |
| /u/throwaway120182873 Is there any Indian alternative to Telegram? May be a good candidate for Made in India app. |
| /u/Any-Individual5262 That zoho guy's app Arattai. But it's backed by RSS |
| /u/throwaway120182873 Is there any proof behind RSS backing? |
| /u/batman8232 Yeah so they can use the app directly during the exam |
