-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Another display of ignorance of how the Internet works: A magistrate in Piaui, Brazil, ordered yesterday, Feb 25 2015, that Brazilian telecom companies to block traffic to WhatsApp. The news report says the judicial order stems from the fact WhatsApp failed to collaborate in criminal investigations involving child pornography (I personally prefer to call it "child exploitation").
It's worth mentioning WhatsApp does not have offices in Brazil and apparently, from a legal perspective, Facebook is not liable for it yet. As far as I know WhatsApp access in the country still works as usual.
