Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has become one of the most popular apps on the market, ranking in the Top 5 of the most downloaded apps in the world with more than 900 million active users . This alternative to WhatsApp has managed to differentiate itself from the competition thanks to its commitment to the security of its users' data and its open source code.
The complaint filed by hong kong number screening some of the country's main audiovisual groups has led to a precautionary block on the instant messaging application. Although access to it was expected to be interrupted on Monday, the latest developments show that the precautionary order has been suspended.
Telegram has not yet commented, and if the application is finally blocked, Spanish users will be left without access, but, as various media outlets point out, the app will continue to be accessible, for example from a VPN.
