DICT 考虑可能禁止 Telegram 应用

信息与通信技术部(DICT)正在研究对加密消息应用 Telegram 的潜在禁令,因担心色情和赌博等非法活动。这是在本月早些时候对 Signal 类似提议之后的举措。人权组织担心这将影响私人通信权利。

2026年2月24日,在DZRH的采访中,DICT部长Henry Aguda提出禁止Telegram的想法,原因是该应用内色情内容和非法赌博活动的泛滥。他指出,该机构在与Telegram沟通解决这些问题时遇到了困难。这与本月早些时候网络犯罪调查与协调中心(CICC)对Signal的提议相呼应,该提议引发了对伪造高层政府官员的担忧,正如CICC主任Renato Paraiso所引述的,消息可能被伪造成“某人与政府官员就防洪丑闻进行交易”以陷害他们。IT权利组织,包括Democracy.net.PH、计算机专业人员工会和Data and Ethics PH,反对这些提议,认为这将侵犯私人通信权。Signal和Telegram均被记者用于与消息来源的安全通信,并且根据2021年《审查指数》报告,它们对言论自由受打压地区的异见人士具有价值:“Telegram和其他加密消息服务对于那些打算在言论自由严重受打压的国家组织抗议的人至关重要。缅甸、白俄罗斯和香港的人们都依赖这些服务。”Telegram在加密方面与Signal不同:Signal仅使用端到端加密,而Telegram默认使用基于云的存储,可由服务器解密,尽管“秘密聊天”提供端到端选项。该应用由兄弟Pavel和Nikolai Durov于2013年创立,曾抵制一些要求,例如在香港抗议期间拒绝了中国当局的数据请求“直到达成国际共识”。然而,其隐私政策允许针对确认的恐怖嫌疑人披露IP地址和电话号码,并且已遵守正当请求,例如在德国移除极右翼内容,并在印度尼西亚禁止支持ISIS的频道。计算机专业人员工会表示:“平台禁令是容易绕过的权宜之计;VPN和替代平台存在。那些有意从事欺诈的人会适应。普通用户——记者、活动人士、专业人士和依赖安全通信的私人公民——才是真正受损者。”在此之前,DICT曾提议强制社交媒体注册,这也遭到隐私倡导者的批评。
