TEHRAN - The Committee for Determining Criminal Content is going to discuss blocking the popular messaging app Telegram during its meeting on Wednesday.

The meeting will be chaired by Prosecutor General Qolamhossien Mohseni-Ejei, ISNA reported on Tuesday.
Officials from the ICT Ministry have said that the mobile messaging app Telegram must prevent the publishing of “immoral” content in order to continue operating in Iran.
The ministry’s public relations officer Mohammad Reza Farnaghizadeh had earlier announced that the ministry will follow Iran’s regulations and shut down channels with immoral content.
