A high court judge in Brazil has decided to close an investigation into Google and Telegram for allegedly coordinating against a bill targeting fake news. The bill would require internet companies to monitor and report illegal content, with penalties for non-compliance.
Judge Alexandre de Moraes agreed with the deputy attorney general that there was no basis for criminal proceedings against the tech companies. This comes after a previous order for an investigation into technology executives.
The bill remains pending and would hold companies accountable for illegal content on their platforms. The decision to close the investigation marks a development in the ongoing debate over online content regulation in Brazil.
