Spain Joins Global Trend: High Court Orders Temporary Suspension of Telegram App

Telegram services in Spain have been temporarily suspended following a High Court order. The move follows complaints from Spanish media companies that Telegram allowed users to upload media content without permission. As a result, Toncoin's (TON) price fell by 5% in just hours.

According to Reuters on March 23, the Spain High Court ordered the temporary suspension of messaging app Telegram in the country following complaints from media companies about content distribution.

Media companies such as Atresmedia, EGEDA, Mediaset, and Telefonica claimed that Telegram allowed users to upload content without permission. Judge Santiago Pedraz approves a temporary ban on Telegram services while the arguments are investigated.

According to competition watchdog CNMC, Telegram is the fourth most popular messaging service in Spain. The company has over 700 million monthly active users worldwide.

Following the recent court order, Spain has joined the exclusive club of countries that have blocked the messaging, including North Korea, China, Iran, and Pakistan.
