Brazil's Supreme Court ordered the investigation into Google and Telegram executives after the firms campaigned against a bill that would curtail online disinformation.
EDnews informs via foreign media that the Supreme Court of Brazil ordered a probe into Google and Telegram, which are accused of leading an "abusive campaign" that opposes a proposed internet regulation bill.
The court's decision came after the tech firms campaigned against what critics claim is a "censorship bill."
Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the federal police to launch an investigation into the two companies and their executives.
Justice Moraes has given 60 days for the probe to take place and has asked the police to take statements from everyone responsible for the campaign at both companies.
