The court sent the fixed and mobile operators block the WhatsApp instant messaging service throughout the country for 72 hours. The measure will begin to count from 14h on Monday (2). The decision of 26 April, is the judge Marcel Montalban, the district Lizard (SE).
The five -Tim operators Hi, Vivo, Claro and Nextel- have received the determination and said they would meet. In case of non-compliance will be subject to a daily fine of R $ 500 thousand.
It is the second time the application is blocked in Brazil. In December 2015, the court ruled the block for 48 hours due to a criminal investigation.
At the time, the telcos have received the court order with surprise, but the decision did not last 48 hours.
The authorities investigating the case in December obtained legal authorization for WhatsApp break the confidentiality of data exchanged via the investigated application, but the company did not release the information requested. The blockade would be a reprisal.
In February, a similar case occurred in Piauí, when a judge also determined WhatsApp lock in Brazil. The goal was to force the company that owns the application to work with state police investigations related to cases of pedophilia.
The decision was suspended one judge of Piaui Court after analyzing writ of mandamus filed by telcos.
