The Brazilian Supreme Court has ordered social platform Telegram to be suspended and barred from operating in the country until it complies with outstanding court orders.

Brazilian Justice Alexandre de Moraes said that the messaging app has repeatedly failed to follow Brazilian law and failed to comply with court orders to freeze accounts that allegedly spread disinformation, according to a copy of the ruling seen by Reuters.
