Telegram to close some channels after ban by Indonesia
Jakarta
ENCRYPTED messaging service Telegram will shut down "terrorist-related" public channels, its founder said on Sunday, after Indonesia's government blocked access to the platform, citing security concerns.
Indonesia, home to the world's largest Muslim population, has seen a resurgence in homegrown radicalism, and has stepped up cooperation with its neighbours to stem a growing presence in South-east Asia of extremist group Islamic State.
