Brazil Supreme Court judge lifts ban on messaging app Telegram | Malay Mail

BRASÍLIA, March 21 ­— The Supreme Court judge who had ordered messaging app Telegram blocked in Brazil reversed the ruling yesterday, after the tech company complied with an earlier decree to make changes to the platform.

Following the suspension order, Telegram founder Pavel Durov apologised to the Supreme Court and blamed a “communication problem” that he said was due to misplaced emails. It now also will tag specific posts as misleading, restrict several profiles that disseminated disinformation and promote verified information.

By Saturday, the post had disappeared. “This message cannot be shown” because “it violated local laws,” a notification said in its place. The kerfuffle came as far-right Bolsonaro, who has been gearing up to seek re-election in October, faces a slump in popularity.
