Ms Chin said: 'Ultimately, public education on safe digital practices would be a longer-term solution. 'Apps and platforms come and go, so instead of trying to play catch-up by regulating every new platform that appears, another way is to pursue the people who spread extremist content or dangerous disinformation,' he said.ĭr Jiow Hee Jhee, a member of the Media Literacy Council, said risks posed by Telegram are not significantly different from other apps. Mr Benjamin Ang, who serves on the executive committee of the Internet Society Singapore Chapter, said banning the app will force users to find other ways to share information. Under the new rules, a user will be able to send a message to only one chat at a time if the message has already been forwarded more than five times. WhatsApp, which has two billion users worldwide, imposed limits in April 2020 after it attracted negative press over the spread of fake news related to the Covid-19 pandemic on its platform. FUN: Telegram has powerful photo and video editing tools, animated stickers. It works even on the weakest mobile connections. RELIABLE: Built to deliver your messages using as little data as possible, Telegram is the most reliable messaging system ever made. While Telegram group chat owners can restrict forwarding from their chat, if that option is not chosen, there is no limit to the number of times a message can be forwarded on the app. Telegram is the perfect tool for hosting online communities and coordinating teamwork.
