The Supreme Court in Spain has blocked the messaging app, Telegram. The decision came after a complaint by media organizations that the platform was allowing users to upload material without their permission. Spaniards have been left without access to the app at least for now after the Supreme Court ordered something like this as a precaution.
The country’s four largest media groups, Mediaset, Atresmedia, Movistar and Edega, complained that the app was distributing copyrighted content created by them without authorization.
Telegram is the fourth most used messaging application in Spain, and as of Monday, it will no longer be available to citizens. The judge in the case requested that the company that owns the application send information within this file. But Telegram did not respond to Santiago Pedraz’s demands and the latter ordered the application to be blocked.
As the international media write, this decision is temporary and will last only a few days. Many app users criticized the decision. However, the judge said that the decision came as a result of the company’s lack of cooperation.
Spain is not the only country that has blocked Telegram. The first to disable it was China in 2015 after it faced too many messages opposing the communist regime. For the same reasons, countries such as Thailand, Pakistan, Iran and Cuba have taken such a decision.
