Due to neo-Nazi data, Brazil has banned Telegram.

The Supreme Court of Brazil has ordered Google, Apple, and four Brazilian telecom companies to remove Telegram from their app stores and other platforms after the company failed to turn over all the requested data of neo-Nazi group administrators. Telegram has been fined 1 million reals ($198,000) per day as long as it continues to refuse to provide the data. Police demanded access to the data after determining the 16-year-old who shot four people dead and wounded nearly a dozen more had been spreading anti-Semitic content on Telegram groups. Investigators hope to learn more about the connections between extremist group members and administrators and whether the group influenced the shooter to commit his crime. The 16-year-old was wearing a swastika on his military fatigues when he opened fire at his former school, then fled to another nearby school.

He was reportedly undergoing psychiatric treatment and 302 arrests and 270 search and seizure operations have been carried out in the course of Operation Safe School. School shootings have been on the rise in Brazil in recent years, with some blamed on former President Jair Bolsonaro's loosening of gun laws. Telegram was fined in January for not suspending the account of popular right-wing federal representative Nikolas Ferreira.
