Vietnam’s Ministry of Information and Communications has ordered telecom providers to block Telegram by June 2, citing its failure to cooperate in criminal investigations and its alleged role in facilitating illegal activities.

Authorities report that 68 percent of Telegram’s 9,600 local channels are linked to crimes such as fraud, drug trafficking, and suspected terrorism. The platform is also accused of allowing the spread of anti-government content by opposition groups, according to Reuters.

Telegram has not responded to the directive. The app remains accessible in Vietnam as of now.
