Telegram's t.me Links Break as .ME Registry Puts Domain on Hold

Telegram's t.me domain is currently in a serverHold status, rendering all contact and content links that utilize this domain unresolvable. This issue impacts user interactions and link-sharing on the platform. In response, Telegram has activated the fallback domain telegram.me for new links, but previously shared t.me links remain inaccessible until the hold is lifted. The hold was placed by domainME, the administrator of the .ME top-level domain, without providing a clear explanation. Telegram founder Pavel Durov has publicly sought assistance for the matter but as of now, the issue persists.
