Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Orders Suspension of Telegram App

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the suspension of messaging app Telegram, saying it had repeatedly refused to adhere to judicial orders or comply with the country's laws, according to a copy of the ruling seen by Reuters. Moraes' decision, which is likely to stoke debate about freedom of speech in politically polarized Brazil, represents the latest chapter in the crusading justice's battle with far-right President Jair Bolsonaro and his allies.
