WhatsApp prohibited in Brazil

WhatsApp application is temporarily banned in Brazil, following the decision of a judge after the company has been reluctant to give the information required by the court in a case of criminal investigations, writes BBC

This is the third suspension within two years, which lasted for several hours, thus affecting millions of users.

However, the judge of the Supreme Court, Ricardo Lewandowski, later withdrew the decision to stop saying that is disproportionate.

WhatsApp has stated that there was no access to the required information.

The latest suspension occurred in May, affecting about 100 million users.
