Brazil court lifts Telegram suspension for not complying with order on neo-Nazi groups

Brazil Court Lifts Suspension of Encrypted Messaging App Telegram

Good news for Telegram users in Brazil! The second instance appeals court has lifted the suspension of the encrypted messaging app, which was imposed earlier this week for its noncompliance in sharing information about extremist and neo-Nazi groups using the platform.

However, the judge upheld the imposition of a daily fine of one million reais ($200,553) on the company for failing to provide the requested data.

Telegram brands itself as a messaging app focused on speed and privacy and says its special secret chats use end-to-end encryption not stored on its servers.
