Telegrams t.me domain put on 'Server Hold' effectively disabling it worldwide. (greekcitytimes.com)

Telegram’s core domain t.me has been placed on serverHold at the .me registry, effectively removing it from global DNS and rendering all t.me links inaccessible.

The change occurred today, according to domain records. As of now, there has been no official explanation from Telegram, the .me registry, or backend operator Identity Digital.

A serverHold is a registry-level status that completely dead-ends the domain, preventing it from resolving anywhere in the world.

That’s a false comparison. You can very easily spy on your users and choose not to do anything if they do something illegal. Or better yet, if they do something illegal in a country you don’t like. You can even encourage them in that situation.
