Judge Lifts Telegram Ban in Brazil But Upholds Daily Fines for Failure to Share Data on Neo-Nazi Groups
- Brazil's second instance appeals court lifted the suspension of encrypted messaging app Telegram.
- Telegram was suspended for not complying with an order to share information about extremist and neo-Nazi groups using the platform.
- The judge upheld a daily fine of one million reais ($200,553) against Telegram for failing to provide the requested data.
- The suspension came after Telegram did not comply with a court order to hand over data about two neo-Nazi groups accused of inciting violence in schools.
- While Telegram's suspension was lifted, the company still faces daily fines for not providing authorities the requested data.
