How was the justice system able to communicate the shutdown order, but not able to communicate the request for user data?
- soneca 10y agoBecause they ordered the shutdown to brazilian internet providers. These internet providers company block the access for Whatsapp services. And they are more than happy to comply, as they hate Whatsapp for taking their SMS revenue. But they are in fact only obeying an justice order.
- bsder 10y agoAh. I wondered why the ISP's seemed so happy to comply.
- emp_zealoth 10y agoCan't WhatsApp set up it's communications in a way that makes blocking them break a lot of other unrelated things?
- kawera 10y agoThey are specially pissed off by whatsapp's free voice calls.
- grenoire 10y agoThey can simply block network traffic. They don't need WhatsApp to shut itself for Brazilians.
- kuschku 10y agoBecause the shutdown is done by ISPs, but the request for user data can be ignored by WhatsApp.
