The chat on Telegram “Basta Dictatura”, a channel created to bring together people opposed to the anti-Covid vaccine and the Green pass, with thousands of users throughout Italy and also used to self-call the demonstrations, was obscured.
From tonight, if you try to log in, the message will appear: "This channel cannot be viewed because it has violated the Telegram Terms of Service".
In recent weeks, the Turin Public Prosecutor's Office had signed a seizure decree after the addresses and telephone numbers of Palazzo Chigi, the governor of Piedmont, Alberto Cirio, and other politicians and well-known virologists had been published. Even the prosecutor who investigated had ended up in the crosshairs.
The magistrates had asked the administrators of Telegram, a company based in Dubai, for "voluntary collaboration". During the night, the "Enough Dictatorship Chat" page, populated by over 7,000 users, was also obscured.
