The Indian government is investigating Telegram over concerns that the messaging app is being used for criminal activities such as extortion and gambling, according to online media outlet Moneycontrol. The report follows the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov in France over the weekend.

The investigation into the messaging platform is being led by the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre under the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Moneycontrol wrote on Monday. The app could even be banned in India, depending on the probe findings, the publication cited a government official as saying.

對該通訊平臺的調(diào)查由印度內(nèi)政部下轄的印度網(wǎng)絡(luò)犯罪協(xié)調(diào)中心與電子信息技術(shù)部指導(dǎo),Moneycontrol周一引述一位印度政府官員言論,根據(jù)調(diào)查結(jié)果該軟件在印度甚至有可能被禁止使用。

Though the app complies with India’s Information Technology (IT) Rules, the fact that it does not have an office in the country is reportedly complicating the government’s efforts to regulate and investigate the platform.

雖然該軟件遵循印度的信息技術(shù)規(guī)則,但因其未在印度設(shè)辦事處,讓印度政府監(jiān)管和調(diào)查該平臺的努力變得棘手。

The Russian tech entrepreneur Pavel Durov – who is also a citizen of France, the UAE, and St. Kitts and Nevis – was detained upon landing in Paris-Le Bourget Airport on Saturday. He is reportedly being accused of failing to curb criminal activities on his platform, and the app’s strong encryption tools allegedly allow criminals to flourish. The French authorities said an official statement would be issued on Monday.

俄羅斯科技企業(yè)家杜羅夫——身兼法國、阿聯(lián)酋、圣基茨和尼維斯公民身價(jià)——周六在巴黎—勒布爾熱機(jī)場著陸時被拘留。據(jù)報(bào)他被控未能有效遏制平臺上的犯罪活動,而該軟件的強(qiáng)大加密工具為罪犯提供了可乘之機(jī),法國權(quán)威人士表示將在周一發(fā)布官方聲明。

A Telegram statement on Sunday insisted that the company complies with EU laws and content-moderation policies, adding that it is “absurd” to claim that Durov is responsible for the misuse of the platform by bad actors.

電報(bào)公司周日發(fā)表聲明回應(yīng),公司遵守歐盟法律和內(nèi)容審核政策,并補(bǔ)充道指責(zé)杜羅夫要對平臺的不法分子濫用負(fù)責(zé)是荒謬的。

Many Russian politicians have condemned Durov’s arrest, with some suggesting that it could be politically motivated. Russia’s top human rights official, Tatyana Moskalkova, claimed that French authorities arrested Durov because they want to shut down the censorship-free platform. According to journalist Andrey Medvedev, Durov is a “major figure” in the current conflict with Ukraine as Telegram is effectively an alternative to closed military communication.

諸多俄羅斯政治家譴責(zé)了杜羅夫的被捕,有些人認(rèn)為此舉可能帶有政治動機(jī)。俄羅斯最高人權(quán)高官Tatyna Moskalkova聲稱法國逮捕杜羅夫是因?yàn)樗麄兿胍P(guān)閉這個免于審查的平臺。記者Andrey Medvedev稱杜羅夫在當(dāng)前與烏克蘭的沖突中扮演重要角色 ,電報(bào)其實(shí)是封閉軍事通信的備胎。
