Brazil Court Withdraws Order to Suspend Telegram

SÃO PAULO—A Supreme Court justice Sunday withdrew an order to suspend Telegram in the country after the company complied with directives to block accounts used by President Jair Bolsonaro’s supporters to spread false information.

Brazil’s highest court had given Telegram until Sunday to comply with requests to block problematic accounts, appoint a representative in the country, and come up with a plan to combat the dissemination of what Justice Alexandre de Moraes called false information.

The decision by Mr. Moraes Friday to suspend the popular social media and chat app angered many of the president’s supporters, who accused the court of censorship. The president’s office didn’t immediately comment.
