🔵 Other important Privacy Policy changes that happened this year:
➡️ In march of this year, the Brazillian Supreme Court requested all the data of the creator of the channels @allandossantos @tercalivre and @artigo220, including IP data and phone number.
According to the internal email Telegram sent to the Supreme Court, Telegram disclosured the name and usernames of channel creators. About the other data (IP and Phone Number), informed that: "we store no other data that you requested for these channels and accounts." All the channels the court requested channels were banned to brazillian users (but could still be acessed worldwide).
➡️ Also, in 13 May of 2022, Telegram changed Privacy Policy in Brazil, the most important change was:
"If Telegram receives a court order from a democratic country, such as Brazil, regarding the use of Telegram's public platform for activities prohibited by the Terms of Use - such as terrorism and abuse against children and adolescents - the IP addresses and Phone numbers of suspects may be made available to the proper authorities."
Till now (30/08/2022) nothing was avaiable in the @transparency report (what is expected, considering that, according to the email, Telegram did not disclusured the IP or phone number of the suspect).
➡️ Telegram has later changed the old @transparency_mv channel to the new @transparency bot. Users now can only see tranparency records of the country to which their phone number belongs.
➡️ According to this publication, this year Telegram gave the data of several suspects of child abuse and terrorism to the Germany government. (Till now, nothing was shared with Germany users inside the @transparency bot)

Brazilian court determines the blocking of Telegram in the country (despite Telegram forward the group creator data)
The court ordered Telegram to send the phone (and IP) data of all members of 2 neo-Nazi groups in less than 24 hours.
About the 1º group, Telegram release the IP and phone of the creator of the neonazi channel
• Group link:
Despite this, the judge in the case determined the blocking of Telegram in the country. According to him, Telegram failed to comply with the decision because he had requested that Telegram send data from all members of the group (not just from administrators).
The judge also determined, as long as Telegram did not send the data, the application of a daily fine in the amount of 1,000,000 BRL per day or 5% of Telegram's profit in Brazil in 2022 (whichever was less).
Considering that Telegram does not have a very high invoice in Brazil, the amount of the fine is negligible.

Brazilian court determines the unblocking of Telegram in the country 🇧🇷🕊
This week a brazilian judge blocked the app in the whole country.
Telegram claimed judicially that:
🔹 comply with judge's decision would be technically impossible as the groups have already been deleted;
🔹 the judge order itself was incomplete since links to the groups or any information from those investigated were not initially included;
🔹 the brazilian law (Marco Civil da Internet) does not allow the complete blocking of a service, but only of certain kinds of its activities;
🔹 the police leaked to the press information about the secret lawsuit before the "citation" of Telegram itself;
🔹 it would be possible for the police (in possession of the seized cell phone) to create a backup the conversations allowing Telegram to help identifying the users. But the police didn't do it;
🔹 penalties imposed by the judge were "disproportionate and unreasonable", against Brazilian Constitution and were trying, in fact, to prevent the operation of Telegram in Brazil.
The court, according to the understanding signed by the current Brazilian Supreme Court votes in ADPF 403 and ADI 5527 (lawsuits about the blocking of Whatsapp in Brazil that happend 2015 and 2016), understood that the measure of complete suspension of the service is not reasonable, considering that it would also affect the freedom of communication of thousands of people.
The court maintained the fine penalty and urgently ordered the notification of the companies Vivo, Claro, Tim, Oi, Google and Apple to cease any kind of blocking of Telegram in the country.

O Brasil está prestes a aprovar uma lei que irá acabar com a liberdade de expressão. O PL 2630/2020 dá ao governo poderes de censura sem supervisão judicial prévia.
Para os direitos humanos fundamentais, esse projeto de lei é uma das legislações mais perigosas já consideradas no Brasil – leia aqui o porquê.
Fale com seu deputado aqui ou nas redes sociais hoje mesmo – os brasileiros merecem uma internet livre e um futuro livre.

Why PL 2630/2020 is Dangerous
Democracy is under attack in Brazil. The Chamber of Deputies is soon expected to vote on PL 2630/2020 that was recently changed to include over 20 completely new articles that have never been widely debated. If it is passed, companies like Telegram may have…
The Federal Prosecutor's Office (MPF) sent a document charging that Telegram send personal data of employees who drafted the text criticizing the PL 2630/20; documentation was a request from Flávio Dino, Minister of Justice, who criticized the platform and said he would carry out retaliations.
See the points that Telegram will be obliged to deliver to justice:
• Explain why the platform has sent an article showing the dangers of a project that could help censorship.
• Send personal data of employees (full name and email) who drafted the article, as well as the excerpt from the terms of use that allows the boosting of messages other than technical updates
• Explain with formalities the reason why they have sent the message to all people, even if it is a matter that directly interferes with the use of the platform.
