印度政府採取了一項具歷史意義的舉措，於2026年6月暫時封鎖了Telegram應用程式，以確保關鍵醫學入學考試NEET-UG的公正性。
In a historic move, the Indian government temporarily blocked the Telegram app in June 2026 to ensure the integrity of the NEET-UG, a crucial medical entrance exam.
官方強調，詐騙者如何利用Telegram的訊息編輯功能，製造虛假的洩題證據，進而助長了學生間的焦慮。
Officials highlighted how scammers exploited Telegram’s message-editing feature to create fraudulent proof of leaks, fueling anxiety among students.
這項激烈的措施，是在原定的5月考試因廣泛的舞弊指控被取消後所實施的。
This drastic measure followed the cancellation of the original May exam due to widespread corruption allegations.
儘管政府稱此封鎖為最後手段，但仍引發了極大爭議。
While the government described the block as a last resort, it caused significant controversy.
數位權利倡議者也將此禁令稱為不成比例的「敷衍」解決方案，未能解決考試機構內部更深層的系統性問題。
Digital rights activists also labeled the ban a disproportionate 'band-aid' solution that failed to address deeper systemic issues within the testing agency.
由於在印度擁有超過1.5億用戶，此次干預的規模前所未有。
With over 150 million users in India, the scale of this intervention was unprecedented.
最終，這一事件引發了全國關於數位安全與言論自由之間平衡的辯論，讓許多人質疑封鎖科技是否為修復教育基礎設施缺陷的有效方法。
Ultimately, the episode sparked a national debate over the balance between digital security and free expression, leaving many to question whether blocking technology is an effective way to fix flaws in educational infrastructure.
