Malaysia Sues Telegram Over Alleged Content Violations

Malaysia Sues Telegram Over Alleged Content Violations

Malaysia is taking legal action against the social media app Telegram because it thinks Telegram is letting users share content that could hurt the government and make people distrust it.

The government says Telegram hasn't done enough to stop this content, even after being asked.

This is the first time Malaysia has sued a social media platform.

The government is trying to stop the spread of this content and is warning other platforms to be careful about what users share.

Telegram will have a chance to defend itself in court.
