restored in Brazil, roughly 24 hours after telecom providers began blocking the messaging app in response to a court
order. A judge in the Brazilian
state of Sergipe ordered local phone carriers to block access to WhatsApp for 72 hours, but his ruling was overturned on appeal.
Mark Zuckerberg celebrated the
end of the country-wide ban and called on Brazilian citizens to support legislation that would prevent a ban from happening again.
“WhatsApp is now back online in
Brazil! Your voices have been heard once again. Thank you to our community for helping resolve this,” Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post . “That said, the idea that everyone in Brazil can be denied freedom to communicate the way they want is very scary in a democracy. You and your friends can help make sure this never happens again, and I hope you get involved,” he added, calling on Brazilian citizens to show up before the nation’s Congress tomorrow and support the introduction of laws that would prevent courts from blocking services like WhatsApp.
