Brazil’s Supreme Court has ordered the banning of messaging app Telegram, following a request from the country’s federal police.
The news was first reported by local news outlets TV Globo and CNN Brasil.
The ban came after the messaging app ignored calls to censor certain accounts that posted what the court said is “disinformation.”
In January, Bolsonaro accused the country’s top electoral authority of “cowardice” for entertaining the idea of a ban of the app, amid concerns of its use for spreading “fake news.”
