The judge of the National Court Santiago Pedraz has ordered the provisional suspension of the instant messaging application Telegram following a complaint filed by Mediaset, Atresmedia and Movistar Plus for alleged unauthorised use of audiovisual content subject to copyright.
As reported by legal sources, the head of the Central Court of Instruction Number 5 has adopted this decision within the framework of a request for a precautionary measure requested by the audiovisual companies so that the activity of the messaging application was paralyzed while the investigation was carried out.
The investigating magistrate has chosen to order the blocking every time he requested information from the application and did not receive any response, according to the same sources consulted.
At the moment, Telegram remains operational, although the blocking ordered by the National Court is expected to occur imminently.
