TL;DR Summary

A federal judge in Brazil has ordered a temporary suspension of the Telegram messaging app after the social media service allegedly failed to fully cooperate in an investigation into neo-Nazi chat groups. Brazil has seen a rise in school violence in the last year, and the blocking of the messaging app appears to be in line with the country's push to curb violent attacks in schools and to limit the influence of social media. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva made regulation of social media platforms a key consideration in a meeting with ministers and Supreme Court justices earlier this month.
