TLGRAM CLOSURE IN SPAIN 📵🔒
The National Court has ordered the messaging application #TG to be blocked in Spain, in response to a lawsuit related to copyright infringement.
Judge Santiago Pedraz has issued this precautionary measure following a lawsuit filed by Mediaset España, EGEDA, A3 Media and Movistar Plus, who allege that content has been uploaded without permission on the platform.
The suspension of the service must be carried out by the telecommunications operators that provide service in Spain.
Although the order has been issued, TG remains operational for the moment.
The blocking of TG in Spain raises questions about freedom of expression and access to information. 😕
As this story continues to unfold, it will be important to closely follow how legal measures evolve and the impact they have on users seeking other messaging solutions like #Signal or decentralized social networks like Friend Tech or #Farcaster
Many business models based on distribution of services or products via TG groups will be clearly affected.
The truth is that, technically, it will be very difficult to block TG, because apart from the use of VPN by users, TG has an anti-censorship and blocking function via proxies.
As a curious fact, these are the countries in which TG is blocked: 🇨🇳 China, 🇵🇰 Pakistan, 🇰🇵 North Korea, 🇮🇷 Iran, 🇪🇸 Spain... 🚫📵 😓
