Telegram will be unfiltered by Wednesday?

In recent days, news about the possibility of fixing the Telegram filter by Wednesday of this week has been published in the virtual space, which has been accompanied by widespread reactions from users. Although no official official has yet confirmed the exact time of this action, some sources have announced the approval of the filtering committee to release this messenger.

According to the reports published in the domestic media, the filter removal committee has agreed to remove the restriction of Telegram messenger in its recent meeting after technical and legal reviews. This decision, if finalized, can be implemented by Wednesday, January 3, 1404, and will allow free access of Iranian users to this popular platform after a long time.

In response to these speculations, Elias Hazrati, the head of the government information council, announced that plans to remove the filter of some platforms are on the agenda of the government, but the exact time is not allowed to be announced. He also pointed to the widespread use of filter breakers by the people and emphasized that the continuation of this situation not only shows the ineffectiveness of filtering, but also has put additional pressure on the country’s communication infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Mustafa Pourdehghan, the representative of Ardakan, also announced the progress of the negotiations between Iran and Telegram earlier and said that the conditions and commitments desired by Iran have been accepted by Telegram. He had expressed hope that the removal of this messenger’s filter would be finalized this week.

Despite these statements, no official body, including the Ministry of Communications or the Supreme Council of Cyber ​​Space, has yet confirmed the exact time or technical details of Telegram’s filter removal. Social media users are also following the developments of this issue carefully and expectantly, and they hope that this action is a sign of a change in the government’s approach to cyber space policy.
