Telegram could be suspended in Brazil after ignoring the Ministry of Justice’s notification of measures to curb the spread of threats to schools. According to Minister Flávio Dino, the government should open an administrative process against the company
This process may result in those sanctions that are provided for in the Consumer Defense Code, which are fines up to eventually suspension of activities in the national territory.
The minister also clarified that the government asked for data to help identify and combat groups or individuals that pose threats to the school environment.
The National Consumer Secretary, Waldih Damous, commented that Telegram is a difficult network to dialogue with.
Telegram is difficult to contact, difficult to dialogue. We saw this in the elections. It will be treated as an institution that did not respond to the notification from the National Consumer Secretariat. Let’s open a case. Yesterday I received this information that it was the only platform that did not respond.
As Telegram has ignored the Ministry, the government articulated with the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) so that the municipality also notifies the messenger within the next few days.
It should be remembered that Telegram has already been the target of a millionaire fine applied by Minister Alexandre de Moraes for non-compliance with a court decision. After the episode, the messenger began collaborating with the Superior Electoral Court (TSE).
