Brazil: ordered block WhatsApp, charges: refusing to … – Footprint Unika

WhatsApp, for sure someone does not like, a Brazilian judge ordered the application to crash accusing her of refusing to cooperate with a police investigation in the State of Piaui. The decision by Judge Luiz Moura Correa was communicated to telephone operators and Internet providers to Brazilians, but today the application still works normally in the country.

According to the court, from 2013 WhatsApp refuses to cooperate with the Police Piaui in a case whose details were not disclosed because it affects children and adolescents. For some Brazilian media, it would be an investigation of a case of pedophilia. “We do not know when or for how long the application will stop working,” he told a news conference the Commissioner General of Police of Piaui, Riedel Batista. The order, reported the Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo, will be lifted when WhatsApp will provide the information requested by the investigators.

SindiTelebrasil, the union that brings together mobile operators in the country called the excessive extent. To get information about a small number of people, denied by the owner of WhatsApp, you want to stop the service across the country. And for this reason, calls for the application of the measure to the phone operators, who have no relationship with that service.
