Spain Court Announces Temporary Suspension of Telegram
Spain High Court ordered the temporary suspension of messaging app Telegram in the country after complaints by media companies related to content distribution, reported Reuters on March 23.
Media companies including Atresmedia, EGEDA, Mediaset, and Telefonica claimed that Telegram was allowing users to upload their content without permission. Judge Santiago Pedraz nods to a temporary ban on Telegram services until the arguments are investigated.
Telegram is the fourth most-used messaging service in Spain, according to competition watchdog CNMC. The company had more than 700 million monthly active users globally.
After the recent court order, Spain has joined the exclusive club of countries that have blocked the messaging — North Korea, China, Iran, and Pakistan.
