Telegram is back on the Google Play Store in India.After a week of being unavailable to Android users, the messaging app quietly reappeared on Tuesday, ending a temporary government block imposed during the country's high-stakes medical entrance exam.The restriction wasn't about Telegram itself. It was about what was happening on it.The move briefly cut off one of India's largest messaging platforms from new Android downloads, affecting a service estimated to have more than 150 million users in the country.Why Telegram?Authorities argued that Telegram's features — including anonymous usernames, encrypted chats and large public channels — made it difficult to stop the rapid spread of leaked material. According to Reuters, officials also accused the company of failing to remove channels openly advertising examination papers quickly enough.Telegram pushed back.The company said it had removed more than 900 links connected to illegal exam content and argued that blocking the platform punished millions of ordinary users rather than those responsible for the abuse. Founder Pavel Durov also questioned the effectiveness of the ban, saying users involved in illegal activity simply migrated to other services, Reuters reported.Court backs governmentTelegram challenged the order in the Delhi High Court, arguing that the temporary block infringed constitutional protections, including freedom of speech and access to information.The court disagreed.Telegram is once again available for download through the Google Play Store in India. But the week-long block is likely to remain a reference point in the broader debate over where governments should draw the line between platform accountability and access to digital communication.
