A Brazilian judge has inflicted on Facebook A fine of $ 11.7 million for refusing to cooperate during an investigation. The prosecutor of the federal state of Amazonas, then, froze the money of the American company. Since it was turned on WhatsApp the end-to-end encryption, privacy has become a decidedly impenetrable matter. The instant messaging app bought by Zuckerberg, now, lets you view the sent and received messages only to those directly affected. The new system “helps to make any communication made with private WhatsApp, like the ones you make for yourself,” it said on WhatsApp blog.
The idea is to discourage hackers and cybercriminals to protect users. What happens, though, if in dance enters a criminal investigation? It is the third time that the court stops the service: last December, the 48-hour suspension has been revoked by a higher court after 14 hours. In May, then, the three-day blockade lasted only one. And now we return to impose penalties by shifting the burden of responsibility on the more than 100 million Brazilians who use WhatsApp. The app’s favorite chatters from all over the world has made it known through an official spokesman: “In recent months, people from all over Brazil have not found acceptable the court blocks of services like WhatsApp. Indiscriminate Steps like these threaten the ability of people to communicate, to do their work and live their lives. As we have said in the past, we can not share information to which we have no access. we hope to see this blockade lifted as soon as possible. “
But the authorities see the issue from another point of view considering punishable lack of cooperation by the companies which, intercepting certain messages, could help make a change in the survey. The prosecutor Alexandre Jabour said about: “Facebook has shown an enormous contempt for the Brazilian institutions, in particular the courts, prosecutors and police not to fulfill orders”.
