Federal judge Flávio Lucas, from the 2nd Specialized Panel of the TRF-2, partially suspended the injunction of the Federal Court of Espírito Santo that determined the suspension of the Telegram application in Brazil. The decision was published this Saturday (29).

According to the judge, the complete suspension of the application throughout the country “is not reasonable, considering the widespread affectation throughout the national territory of the freedom of communication of thousands of people who are absolutely strangers to the facts under investigation”.

In the decision, the magistrate opted to maintain the daily fine of BRL 1 million imposed by the first instance, for failing to comply with the determination to provide data “of all users” of channels with neo-Nazi content, mainly their administrators. According to the founder and CEO of Telegram, the data requested by the court is “technologically impossible” for the platform to obtain.

The magistrate determines that telecommunications companies (Vivo, Claro, Tim and Oi), Google and Apple are urgently officiated so that they end “any type of application blocking”.
