The Delhi High Court has rejected a legal challenge from Telegram, supporting the Indian government's decision to temporarily block the messaging app. This move was intended to prevent cheating and fraud during the NEET-UG medical entrance re-test.

德里高等法院駁回了 Telegram 的法律挑戰，支持印度政府暫時封鎖該訊息應用程式的決定。此舉旨在防止 NEET-UG 醫學院入學補考期間出現舞弊與欺詐行為。

The court's decision focused on Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000. Justice Tejas Karia ruled that the law allows the government to block an entire digital platform, not just specific pieces of content. Consequently, the court stated that the government's actions were fair and necessary to protect about 2.27 million students from leaked exam materials during a specific period.

法院的決定集中在 2000 年《資訊科技法》的第 69A 條。Tejas Karia 法官裁定，法律允許政府封鎖整個數位平台，而不僅僅是特定的內容。因此，法院表示政府的行動是公正且必要的，以在特定期間內保護約 227 萬名學生免於接觸外流的考試資料。

There was a clear disagreement between the government and Telegram regarding how the app works. The Indian government argued that Telegram's use of bots and anonymous accounts made it impossible to stop leaks by only deleting individual links. Furthermore, they claimed that the app's ability to edit messages could be used to create fake evidence. In contrast, Telegram argued that the ban was unfair and pointed out that it had already removed over 900 illegal links. However, the court rejected these claims, emphasizing that the restriction was necessary to maintain public order.

政府與 Telegram 在該應用程式的運作方式上存在明顯分歧。印度政府主張，Telegram 使用機器人（bots）和匿名帳號，使得僅透過刪除個別連結來阻止外流變得不可能。此外，他們聲稱該應用程式編輯訊息的功能可能會被用於偽造證據。相反地，Telegram 主張禁令並不公平，並指出其已刪除超過 900 個非法連結。然而，法院駁回了這些主張，強調限制措施對於維持公共秩序是必要的。

At the same time, data showed that users changed their behavior after the ban began on June 16. There was a significant increase in the use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and other messaging apps. For example, VPN downloads rose by 49%, and apps like Signal and Viber became more popular. Despite the restrictions, some data indicated that many users still tried to access Telegram through various technical methods.

與此同時，數據顯示用戶在 6 月 16 日禁令開始後改變了行為。虛擬私人網路 (VPN) 及其他訊息應用程式的使用量顯著增加。例如，VPN 下載量上升了 49%，Signal 和 Viber 等應用程式變得更受歡迎。儘管受到限制，部分數據顯示仍有許多用戶嘗試透過各種技術手段訪問 Telegram。

The restriction will stay in place until June 22, and the message-editing feature will remain disabled until June 30, as the court has confirmed the government's right to regulate the platform.

由於法院確認了政府有權監管該平台，限制將維持至 6 月 22 日，而編輯訊息功能將禁用至 6 月 30 日。
