A National Court Judge issued an order on Monday in which he agreed, prior to the temporary suspension of the resources associated with messaging app Telegram, to request a report from the General Information Commissioner’s Office on the Telegram platform. Therefore, Telegram can continue to operate in Spain, for now.
The magistrate requests information about its characteristics as well as the impact that the temporary suspension that he agreed to in an order last Friday and whose execution remains suspended may have on users.
In the aforementioned order, the magistrate ordered the telecommunications and Internet access operators to temporarily suspend Telegram in the framework of a procedure for a crime of continued violation of intellectual property rights against the owners of various channels created on the network.
In his resolution, the Judge explained that the measure has legal support contemplated in article 13.2 of the LECrim: “In the investigation of crimes committed through the internet, telephone or any other information or communication technology, the court may agree, as first steps, ex officio or at the request of a party, precautionary measures consisting of the provisional removal of illicit content, the provisional interruption of the services offered by said content or the provisional blocking of both when they are located in a foreign area”.
