Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has ordered Apple and Google to help block access to the Telegram messaging app within the country, according to Reuters<\/em><\/a>. The sealed order, handed down today, demands Brazil\u2019s telecommunications agency Anatel officially suspend Telegram until it complies with local orders and pays a series of fines. The news follows accusations that Telegram has failed to prevent users from spreading disinformation<\/a> as it\u2019s become a communications hub for President Jair Bolsonaro.<\/p>\n

Brazilian authorities threatened to suspend Telegram<\/a> earlier this year, saying it hadn\u2019t responded to requests to fight false election information. Telegram responded in February by removing three channels<\/a> from US-based Brazilian blogger Allan dos Santos, a supporter of Bolosnaro, for allegedly spreading disinformation and inciting violence. However, according to an Associated Press<\/em> description<\/a> of today\u2019s order, Moraes said the company had been uncooperative with authorities. The order apparently gives Apple, Google, and local phone carriers five days to block Telegram, while Anatel has 24 hours to implement an official suspension.<\/p>\n

Google spokesperson Frederico Cursino confirmed to The Verge<\/em> via email that the company had \u201creceived a Supreme Court order regarding the messaging app Telegram in Brazil,\u201d but \u201cas the case is sealed, we will not be commenting.\u201d Apple and Telegram did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Telegram is caught in a crossfire between the Supreme Court and Bolsonaro, whom the court is investigating for allegedly leaking police documents<\/a> and making comments falsely linking<\/a> AIDS to the COVID-19 vaccine. (Bolsonaro, in turn, has called for<\/a> Moraes\u2019 impeachment.) But the app has been criticized elsewhere<\/a> for offering a haven where far-right political figures can post false information and hate speech to avoid deplatforming from services like Facebook and Twitter, part of Telegram\u2019s stated commitment to refusing government censorship demands. It\u2019s been banned in Russia for refusing to share encryption keys in anti-terrorism investigations, although that prohibition was lifted in 2020<\/a>. Meanwhile, Brazil\u2019s legal system has previously ordered blocks of Telegram competitor WhatsApp \u2014 but the bans have proven to be short-lived<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
