Bangkok, Oct 19 (UNI) Thai authorities said on Monday that they have imposed curbs on the Telegram messaging app, which has been widely used by protesters during the ongoing anti-government protests.
The government's plan to block Telegram was reported by local media on Monday after a document marked "very confidential" was leaked and shared widely on social media. Telegram is a popular secure messaging app that has been used by activists to organise protests at short notice.
The document produced by Thailand's digital economy ministry, which has the power to censor the internet in Thailand - was sent to the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission.
