Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the suspension of messaging app Telegram, following a request from the country's federal police, local news broadcasters TV Globo and CNN Brasil both reported on Friday.

The decision comes after the messaging app, which is widely used by Brazil's far-right President Jair Bolsonaro and his allies, failed to respond to court orders to block certain accounts that had been found to disseminate disinformation, Globo reported.

Brazil's Supreme Court did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Anatel, Brazil's telecoms regulator, said it did not have any information about the issue. In January, Bolsonaro accused the country's top electoral authority of "cowardice" for considering a ban of the messaging app amid concerns of its use for spreading "fake news."Reporting by Peter Frontini and Pedro Fonseca; editing by Stephen Eisenhammer and Jonathan OatisSubscribe to our sustainability newsletter to make sense of the latest ESG trends affecting companies and governments.

suruagymotta Brazil is experiencing a dictatorship of the judiciary led by the Supreme Court co-opted by a left-wing party linked to drug trafficking with plans to implement a dictatorship of the proletariat.

Like North Korea, China and Cuba

Welcome to the jungle!

Lex Luthor.

We Live in Alexandria. Welcome to Alexandria.

It was not the SUPREME COURT which ruled as such. It was a single justice, alexandre, who behaves as though the country belongs to him in an insane wrath/rage against PR jairbolsonaro and anyone who follows his lead. Now the STF_oficial wants LulaOficial, THE THIEF, back.

We are living in a legal dictatorship. Our supreme court does not respect our Constitution.😞

Já vai tarde, nunca será um whatsapp 🤣

We’re under Supreme Court dictatorship.

Good decision. Telegram was being used by right wing terrorists, milítias and conspirationists that support Bolsonaro and extremism. Distrust of Elections, Pedofilia, Pandemic Denial, Fake News and hate crimes of Brazilian NeoNazis cannot be accepted. 2023 Bolsonaro in prison.

Aqui no Brasil temos a ditadura da suprema corte. Prendem jornalistas, deputados, sem o devido processo legal. Prendem pela vontade deles.

N_Carvalheira Isso se chama perseguição política! BolsonaroPresidenteAte2026

Supreme Court of Brazil is at the service of organizing crime in the country. Most of them were placed by Lula and Alexadre de Morais by Temer. Two criminals who were released by the ministers.

Another example of how the left can damage your nation by simply packing the supreme court with their crooked 'friends'. Brazil is being ruled by a weak constitution on the hands of dirty corrupt low class lawyers disguised as justices.

O ministro da SUPREMA CORTE FEDERAL Alexandre de Moraes é o maior inimigo da população brasileira, ele age como um ditador .

oi_meuchapa New autoritarian regime in place

Subdesenvolvimento, agora na internet

Suprema Corte Não! Esse lixo TIRANO Não pode chamar de Corte!

power abuse

The Minister of the Brazilian Supreme Court and the largest Brazilian communication network agree with fraud in the 2022 elections in Brazil.

STF ESTA DANDO UM GOLPE NO BRASIL

I'm a brazilian surgeon. Our contry is under dictatorship. Our supreme court is a shame! The supreme court ministres ministers were appointed by Lula and Dilma.They are arresting political enemies and censoring social media.

Uma decisão genocida.

O Brasil vive atualmente uma ditadura do poder judiciário.

Supreme Fascist Court.

Um absurdo!!!

ludmilagrilo Yeah it happened again. But about dictatorship, Brasil already is, since Dilma Rousseff's 'split impeachment', done by the Supreme Court. Constitution was torn apart under our nose, back in 2016, like it was a kind of 'juristocratic' experiment, made successful. It is long over⚠️

Yes, telegram seems to be the nazi platform of choice these days! It should be banned everywhere!

Eis o motivo do bloqueio. Here's the reason for the block.

We are living dark times in Brazil! The corrupts are not accepting an honest president! They are planning against Brazilian people just to come back to steal us again! However jairbolsonaro is supported by the good people of Brazil. The light will rule the darkness!

Com um presidente covarde q temos... STF deita e rola

ludmilagrilo O Telegram agora banido é o mesmo do qual o STF utilizou provas ilegais para beneficiar certos políticos. Absurdo!

Supreme dictatorship

Bolsonarist groups use this platform to attack the Democratic State of Law, Brazilian Laws and intended to spread lies in the next elections this year, to favor the current president, who is terrible in the polls of serious institutions in Brazil!

The highest court of justice in Brazil took this decision after several attempts to contact Mr Pavel Durov (Russian citizen, responsible for the Telegram platform) to adopt Brazilian Laws in relation to the fight against fake news that go against Brazilian Democracy.

kimpaim Descumpriu a ordem de retirar uma postagem dizendo que o sistema eleitoral elétrico foi invadido por hackers. E o sistema invadido

Shameful situation 😞

Brazil is now a Juristocratic Dictatorship!

Luciandrade Certo

Agora teremos uma jurisprudência mundial contra mal feito e crimes. Parabéns STF.

The world should know what is really happening in Brazil, where the Supreme Court has the final decision on everything, especially to limit people's freedom of expression and try to change almost everything the President tries to do.

Uma vergonha. São juízes militantes da esquerda que rasgam a constituição federal. Não passam de uma tropa de vagabundos criminosos que deveriam ser presos.

Suprema corte do ditador

Because people will rise against the thug who rules Brazil now and is pro Putin. Hope they do and put him in a box soon.

Vivemos no BRASIL uma ditadura da Supreme Court.

Ditador Xandão

kimpaim the same ones who said that Bolsonaro elected president would lead Brazil to dictatorship,

FrancoRosito1 We live in a dictatorship in Brazil, President Bolsonaro is the only one to defend freedom

BTW, nice report, Reuters. Thanks!

kimpaim Let them come here and make me not use telegram

Supreme Court of Brazil, attacks the telegram. Brazil lives the dictatorship of the supreme court, we live a political persecution of supporters of President Jair Bolsonaro.

kimpaim Shame!

Brazil lives a nefarious dictatorship of the Judiciary. The supreme court makes the most sordid politics, affronts the constitution, attacks freedom of expression and silences the voices of conservatives. We are in the most hateful dictatorship.

kimpaim Brazil is under a bloody dictatorship. jairbolsonaro is the only leader advocating the real DEMOCRACY . Supreme court obeys only Lula's demons.

o real motivo... STFVergonhaMundial

Offending accounts The problem are the diverse opinions or comments some people and media just cannot stand. On COVID, vaccine, politics...if you are not a progressive, if you dare to be a conservative you better shut up! Nothing new. It is a SHAME...

Not really, this was just one judge Alexandre de Moraes.

The Supreme Court seized power in Brazil. It is the Court that freed the corrupt Lula, while arresting journalists and politicians. The interesting thing is that the Justice who leads this coup movement will be responsible for the security of the elections.

BolsonaroOrgulhoDoBrasil

Óia aê, este é o cara.

The judge of the supreme court of Brazil imposes censorship on Brazilians... the Telegram app is blocked. The purpose of these measures is President Jair Bolsonaro We are under the dictatorship of the Brazilian judiciary!!!!

Ditadura judicial está enforcando o Brasil.
