What’s going to happen the next time the government or judges called them from something? They don’t respond and the judge are going to order the ISP to stop forward data from and to them, blocking them on Brazil. It’s not even going to be the first time, brazillian judges have had fights with whatapp before, and for a couple of days whataap have been blocked.
