Forgot to check email, Telegram is banned by Brazil

People seem to have no time to check or read emails anymore when in many people’s mailboxes there are hundreds or even thousands of unread emails. If an important email is missed, not only an individual but possibly the whole company is affected. That’s what happened recently with the Telegram messaging app in Brazil.

Last Friday, Brazil’s supreme judge, Alexandre de Moraes, asked Apple and Google to help block Telegram in the country on charges of spreading fake news. But in a new statement from Telegram founder and CEO, Pavel Durov, explains the reason for this ban.

According to Mr. Durov, the ban was due to the company’s failure to respond to a court request to take down an account. But according to Mr. Durov, the company decided to use a dedicated email for requests like this – but perhaps the court was unaware of this and sent the request to the general email address. Therefore, Telegram ignored, did not receive this email and eventually received a ban because it was considered contempt of the court. The statement also said that the company has now found the above email and is working to rectify the situation.

According to a report from the New York Times, Telegram is being investigated by Brazil for allegedly sharing fake news about the country’s politicians. This is also the reason why Brazil’s supreme judge Alexandre de Moraes sent an email asking Telegram to remove some accounts and groups on the platform. However, because it did not check this mailbox, Telegram did not know about the above email and did not respond to the court, which led to the Brazilian application’s ban.

It seems that Telegram CEO’s explanation was approved by the Brazilian court when only 2 days after banning this application, the ban was lifted. In addition to the explanation of ignoring the court’s email, Telegram also fulfilled the request in this email when it removed the accounts related to the distribution of information about the country’s politicians.
