KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission is considering taking action against messaging app Telegram due to cybercrime cases associated with the platform.
He added that drastic measures against Telegram may be necessary as there are no official communication channels or contact persons representing the app for the government to raise any issues or follow-up action. “This situation makes Telegram the platform of choice for cybercriminals to switch from the 'dark web' to the mainstream online platforms to target more victims,” he was quoted as saying by The Star.
This was after Telegram spokesperson Remi Vaughn said that the messaging app refuses to participate in “any form of political censorship”.
