A few hours ago we heard the news: the judge of the National Court, Santiago Padraz, ordered Preventive blocking of Telegram in USA – as reported by Telecinco. It would be temporary and responds to a lawsuit filed by Mediaset España, A3 Media, Movistar Plus and EGEDA (Entity for managing the rights of audiovisual producers).
This suspension of the service of the popular messaging platform is due to the fact that the magistrate did not receive the information he requested from Telegram, which could in the coming hours contact the Spanish authorities to try to end the blockade. The allegation on which the fact is based is due to the Hosting Copyrighted Content of the aforementioned platforms.
Telegram blocking in USA: can it be avoided?
As they could consult our colleagues in Xataka, the National Court proceeds to send the order to the Spanish operators so that the suspension is carried out within a period not exceeding three hours from the notification. At the time of writing, the platform is still operating, probably because this mandate has not yet been received and executed.
The details of How will the aforementioned blocking of the platform be carried out?. Operators will most likely execute the command by blocking traffic to the application on their servers. If this is the case, with an alternative proxy or VPN – from a country that does not have blocking – it is likely that the suspension can be avoided.
From what they indicate, precisely on the NASeros Telegram channel, it is also possible that if we have contracted iCloud+, perhaps By activating the Private Relay option you could have access to Telegram via the web (since Private Relay only works on Safari). It all depends on the degree of blocking and the method used, although we will only be able to confirm this at the time of suspension.
We will continue to monitor developments until the blockade is put in place, what seems inevitable – since even if they can provide the information requested by the judge from Telegram, while the precautionary measure is checked and verified, it could remain in force.
