Brazil Restores Access to WhatsApp
24 hours after a judge banned WhatsApp in Brazil🇧🇷, the popular messaging service has been restored. The judge had ordered local phone carriers to block access to WhatsApp for 72 hours, but his ruling had been overturned after it was appealed against. Mark Zuckerberg asked Brazilian citizens to avoid a ban from happening in the future. He wrote in a Facebook post: “WhatsApp is now back online in Brazil! Your voices have been heard once again. Thank you to our community for helping resolve this. That said, the idea that everyone in Brazil can be denied freedom to communicate the way they want is very scary in a democracy.” He said that they can help ensure it never happens again by showing up before Brazil’s🇧🇷 Congress tomorrow to introduce laws which would prevent courts from blocking services like WhatsApp
