Last Friday alarms started ringing: the National Court blocked Telegram due to intellectual property issues. Apparently Mediaset España, EGEDA, A3 Media and Movistar reported: its content was unfairly spread on the messaging platform.

A few days later we are still operating Telegram in Spain and It will continue like this for now: Now Judge Pedraz has suspended the blocking of Telegram pending the report from the Office of the General Information Commissioner.

Stop blocking Telegram

The same person who initiated this process, Judge Pedraz, now agrees to suspend the execution of the infamous Telegram blockade, following complaints from some audiovisual content companies. As we read in Europa Press, this is because A report requested from the General Information CommissionerAbout the impact this measure will have.

The measure announced last Friday shook the tech news, but the truth is that judicial experts called it absolutely disproportionate: For a complaint of this scale, blocking the entire platform would have set a precedent.

Less than 24 hours later, on Saturday, Judge gave operators three hours to continue blockade. However, as the media pointed out, this requirement was not fulfilled and the report is currently awaited by the National Court.

Despite the radical response to complaints from audiovisual content companies, It was the only possible solution By failing to find the cooperation of the Virgin Islands. A letter rogatory was sent to Telegram to share technical data in order to identify users who violate intellectual property rights.

So be it, news of the weekend stands dead. And we will patiently wait for the outcome of this report to find out whether the blockade will finally be implemented or whether the measure will be rejected. We will continue to inform.
