JAKARTA: Indonesia said it would lift a partial block on the popular Telegram messaging service app after the company agreed to speed up the removal of terrorism-related content. 

Last month the country restricted computer access to Telegram because of material related to radicalism and terrorism, including tips on assembling bombs and launching attacks.
