The service was suspended in March 2024 by the government of President Javier Milei. It provided news and information to about 300 subscribers, including government entities and national and international media, which is operated as a state enterprise. Milei alleged that the agency operated as a "Kirchnerism propaganda spreader". It was also stated that Télam "had losses for AR$20 billion (some US dollar 23 million)".
