Telegram to Shut 'Terrorist-Related' Public Channels After Indonesian Ban

Encrypted messaging service Telegram will shut down "terrorist-related" public channels, its founder said, 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 home-grown radicalism, and has stepped up cooperation with its neighbors to stem a growing presence in Southeast Asia of extremist group Islamic State.
