The messaging platform Telegram appointed Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), a new legal representative in Brazil. The information was filed with the Court after the minister gave the company 24 hours to present the information. If the deadline was not met, the application should be removed from the air. According to the data sent to Moraes, the new legal responsible for the platform is the Leonardi Advogados office. Last week, lawyer Alan Campos Elias Thomaz, who acted as a representative of Telegram in Brazil, stopped providing services to the platform after the STF started investigating the company for its own posts against the Fake News Bill (PL 2630/2020 ). The poll opened on May 12. In this Friday’s decision (26), Moraes highlighted that this is not the first time that the Supreme Court has had difficulties in notifying Telegram of judicial decisions, so that they are complied with. In March 2022, the minister had already determined the appointment of representation in Brazil, under penalty of the company not being able to operate in the country.
