SGI: That Telegram permits users to conceal critical identifiers, including their phone numbers, and communicate solely through usernames. In many instances, even such usernames do not reveal any verifiable identity of the user.
SGI: This feature significantly impedes the ability of law enforcement agencies to identify co-conspirators, trace communication chains, and establish attribution during the course of investigation.
SGI: we don't have this problem with other intermediaries. This platform operates through cloud. Even if they block it and someone does mischief, law enforcement agency cannot reach the actual user
SGI reads report: As per report Telegram can offer bot infrastructure which can desiminate info in bulk. This feature is unique as it permits creation of sophisticated networks with minimal human oversight
SGI: in telegram one account user can create 40 bots. Bots are machines. Bots can further multiply.
SGI: ministry of home affairs has unit called I4C. They give periodical reports. It is not a recent report. All lead to conclusion that app’s architecture is such unlike other intermediaries that they are unable to do what is expected
SGI refers to minutes of meeting held on June 3.
SGI says a communication was received from the NTA, who informed about certain names which have to be investigated.
