Brazil's second instance appeals court lifted on Saturday the suspension of the encrypted messaging app Telegram, imposed earlier this week for its noncompliance in sharing information about extremist and neo-Nazi groups using the platform.
Flávio Lucas, a judge from Brazil's Federal Regional Court of the 2nd Region, stated in his decision that a complete suspension of Telegram's service in the country "is not reasonable" due to its impact on the freedom of communication for thousands of people unrelated to the ongoing investigation.of a daily fine of one million reais on the company for failing to provide the requested data.
The federal police requested the suspension order after Telegram failed to comply with a previous court decision to handover data about two neo-Nazi groups on the app accused of inciting violence in schools. 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.Reporting by Rodrigo Viga Gaier, Writing by Marcela Ayres; Editing by Sandra Maler
