Indonesia lifts threat ban encrypted app telegram

I think you meant to say "Indonesia lifts threat to ban encrypted app Telegram".

Yes, that's correct. In 2017, Indonesia's Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo) threatened to ban Telegram, a popular encrypted messaging app, due to concerns over its use by terrorist groups and the spread of fake news.

However, in a U-turn, the Indonesian government has now lifted the threat to ban Telegram. According to reports, the government has decided to focus on regulating the app's use rather than banning it outright.

The decision was reportedly made after a meeting between the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology and Telegram's representatives, where they discussed ways to address the government's concerns about the app's use.

It's worth noting that Indonesia has been cracking down on online content it deems to be harmful or illegal, including fake news, hate speech, and terrorist propaganda. The government has also been working to improve its digital infrastructure and cybersecurity measures.

In any case, the lifting of the threat to ban Telegram is a welcome development for the app's users in Indonesia, who can now continue to use the platform without worrying about it being shut down.
