BRASILIA (Reuters) – Brazil’s second instance appeals court lifted on Saturday the suspension of the encrypted messaging app Telegram, imposed earlier this week for its noncompliance in sharing information about extremist and neo-Nazi groups using the platform. <\/p>\n

Fl\u00e1vio Lucas, a judge from Brazil’s Federal Regional Court of the 2nd Region, stated in his decision that a complete suspension of Telegram’s service in the country “is not reasonable” due to its impact on the freedom of communication for thousands of people unrelated to the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n

However, the judge upheld the imposition of a daily fine of one million reais ($200,553) on the company for failing to provide the requested data.<\/p>\n

The federal police requested the suspension order after Telegram failed to comply with a previous court decision to handover data about two neo-Nazi groups on the app accused of inciting violence in schools.<\/p>\n

Telegram brands itself as a messaging app focused on speed and privacy and says its special secret chats use end-to-end encryption not stored on its servers.<\/p>\n

Telegram did not immediately respond to a request for comment. <\/p>\n

($1 = 4.9862 reais)<\/p>\n
