Brazil Blames Telegram for Not Responding, However Brazil Was Using the Wrong Address...
Brazil did not use the dedicated email address for correspondence with Telegram, the went through common channels... OOPS
Most of you have, by now, heard about Brazil banning Telegram for lack of response to their emails concerning misinformation.
Apparently, in February 2022 Brazil was sending notifications to the general Telegram email address which receives thousands of emails per day.
Telegram noticed that Brazil was doing this and when they complied with a Brazilian order in February, Telegram requested Brazil send all further notices to a special email address to ensure they received prompt attention.
Brazil did not do this as they continued to use the general address, resulting in their emails being buried in the thousands of emails Telegram receives every day.
This would be like giving your creditor(s) your new address and they continue sending bills to your old address, then when you discover and pay your bill late, they blame you.
