UPDATE: Mar. 21,Sexual Wishlist (2014) Watch online 2022, 12:09 p.m. Brazil has now lifted Telegram's ban, two days after it was officially put in place. The turnaround was quick enough that ban didn't actually take effect, as internet providers had been given five days to comply.
The messaging platform took several court-ordered steps over the weekend in order to get reinstated. This included deleting classified information shared by President Jair Bolsonaro's account, and removing accounts from a prominent supporter who has been accused of spreading misinformation.
Telegram also said it would start adding warnings to inaccurate posts and promoting verified information in Brazil.
Original story follows.
Ever miss a really important email? We've all been there.
The team over at the messaging platform Telegram probably knows exactly how bad that feels too. Now it's banned in Brazil, and missed emails are the culprit.
According to Reuters, Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes issued an order Friday for Telegram to be blocked in the country. Much like in the U.S., the messaging platform has become a hub for conspiracy theories and disinformation surrounding Brazil's elections as the far right supporters of President Jair Bolsonaro have flocked there.
Authorities in Brazil have attemptedto crack down on this disinformation and Telegram had complied with some requests, such as when it bannedchannels belonging to a pro-Bolsonaro blogger based in the U.S. earlier this year. However, according to Moraes, Telegram has overall been uncooperativeand was not complying with Brazil's local orders.
Telegram has a very simple explanation as to why it hasn't worked with Brazil to avoid the suspension: The company missed Brazil's emails. According to Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov, the company "had an issue with emails going between our telegram.org corporate addresses and the Brazilian Supreme Court."
"As a result of this miscommunication, the Court ruled to ban Telegram for being unresponsive," Durov continued. "On behalf of our team, I apologize to the Brazilian Supreme Court for our negligence. We definitely could have done a better job."
Durov further explained that Telegram had referred the court to a dedicated email address it had for takedown requests. However, the Brazilian court continued to correspond via Telegram's "old general-purpose email address." Durov says the team missed these emails and are now working to comply with the court's requests.

As a result of Moraes's ruling, Brazil's telecommunication agency, Anatel, has been ordered to officially suspend the platform, at least until Telegram cooperates with local authorities, complies with Brazilian law, and pays the related fines. The court order also requests that Apple and Google aid in blocking access to Telegram in Brazil as well.
A Google spokesperson confirmed to The Vergethat the company had received the Supreme Court order.
As Durov points out, Telegram has been inundated with official takedown requests over the past few weeks as a result of world events like Russia's war in Ukraine. However, Telegram's suspension in Brazil provides a valuable lesson: Always check your email.
