Telegram's suspension in Brazil has now been revoked by the Brazilian Supreme Court after briefly banning the messaging app in the Latin country.
As per a news story by Reuters, the Supreme Court of Brazil has already backtracked its previous order to block Telegram in the Brazilian nation after failing to the requests of the court.
Telegram's Suspension in Brazil
The Supreme Court previously asked Telegram to take down accounts on the platform of the message service for allegedly peddling disinformation.
However, last March 18, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the banning of the messaging service in Brazil for "repeatedly" ignoring the court orders and the judicial orders of the court, requesting to block accounts on the platform.
After which, the CEO and founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, responded to the latest movie of the Brazil Supreme Court, admitting the "negligence" of the messaging app for failing to respond to its orders.
In a statement, the Telegram founder said that they have missed the emails of the Brazil Supreme Court as the messages of the latter were sent to an "old general-purpose email address."
So, it turns out that the Telegram boss is claiming that the messaging app has been banned in the country for missing the emails sent by the high court.
Durov added in his statement that his firm had previously provided the Brazilian Supreme Court a specific email where it is supposed to send any judicial orders or other messages.
However, the tech exec claims that the Supreme Court has failed to send it to the dedicated email.
