Brazilian judge temporarily suspends Telegram app
Fox News
A Brazilian federal judge has ordered a temporary suspension of Telegram, a messaging app that has reportedly refused to turn data on far-right users over to authorities.
The ruling from a federal court in Espírito Santo state said "the facts shown by police authorities show a clear purpose of Telegram of not cooperating with the investigation." Brazil's federal police confirmed in a statement that the push to block Telegram is already on course.
Telegram's press office didn't immediately respond to an Associated Press email requesting comment regarding whether it was aware of the ruling, and its communications with the Federal Police.
