WhatsApp blocked in Brazil for 48 hours by court
The first criminal court of São Bernardo do Campo said in a statement: “WhatsApp did not respond to a court order, dated 23 July, 2015. On 7 August , 2015, the company was notified again of being subject to fixed penalty in case of non-compliance.”
Brazilian mobile phone operators have seen WhatsApp as a threat to their business model, saying that the free voice over internet (VoIP) calls that WhatsApp provides undermine their own phone services.
Several have sought and failed to pressure the government to limit access to VoIP in the country.
