Eurasian Digital Foundation received a letter from Telegram Messenger Inc.:
"Dear Eurasian Digital Foundation,
On behalf of Pavel Durov and the entire Telegram team, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued efforts to draw attention to the blocking of Telegram in Nepal and demand its lifting. Your proactive stance sends a powerful and necessary message: secure and open communication is a fundamental human right in any society.
We look forward to staying in touch and exploring opportunities for cooperation to protect digital freedoms around the world.
Thank you again for your principled stance in support of freedom of expression in Nepal.
Sincerely, Telegram Team and PAVEL DUROV"
Recall that in early September, the Nepalese government decided to block more than 20 popular Internet resources, including Telegram.
For millions of users, especially young people, this was a blow to freedom of expression and access to information.
Mass protests broke out in the country and only after events escalated to the point of tragedy, the Nepalese government decided to unblock social networks.
Freedom of information is a basic right, and internet blockages only undermine trust and provoke instability. EDF opposes shutdowns and advocates for fair regulation of the digital environment. The internet must remain open and accessible to all.
Thank you Telegram for supporting freedom of expression and an open internet. We share common values: the right to communicate, protection of digital rights and access to information. Telegram remains an important platform for communication and solidarity around the world.
