Telegram Chatting Application Blocked Government

Telegram Chatting Application Blocked Government - recently Telegram blocked government. No information about the reason this chat application is blocked, but certainly when accessed through the application or through the browser (telegram web) error.

Yes, as you can see in the screenshot, when opened will only connect to the telegram server repeatedly but it never works. At first I thought it was a problem in my network but it turns out when I try to ping Telegram website also diblock by Internet Positive.

Feeling unsure, I also confirmed to some friends about whether they can access Telegram. Apparently there are many who can not.

When this news was released, there was no information on why Telegram was blocked. Though I think the benefits of this telegram itself very much. In addition to this chat application again upd aun because simple and without advertising, a lot of IT material sharing held in community communities via telegram or commonly called Kulgram (Telegram Lecture).

Well I myself am very sorry if this blocking continues, we wait for my next development.

Update:

Recently Kominfo did a press release informing them of the reason they blocked Telegram. Here's what it says:

"The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology on July 14, 2017 has asked the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to terminate access (blocking) to Telegram's 11 Domain Name System (DNS). This blocking must be done because the many channels in the service are propaganda of radicalism, terrorism, hatred, invitation or how to assemble bombs, how to attack, disturbing images, and others that are contrary to Indonesian laws and regulations. "

Yup, Telegram is blocked because it is considered a terrorist nest. Very funny indeed. Kominfo prefers to burn the house just because inside the house there is a rat's nest, rather than hunt mice.
