A Spanish court suspended an order it issued earlier to block instant messaging service Telegram in the country as part of an investigation on users illegally sharing TV and video content.
Judge Santiago Pedraz, of Spain’s National Court, asked the police to prepare a report on the app and how its users could be affected by the suspension, according to a court statement on Monday.
