Judge Daniela Barbosa, the county of Duque de Caxias, in Rio de Janeiro, ordered to suspend WhatsApp in Brazil in the early hours of Tuesday (19). The operators have been advised on Tuesday to start the lock. This would be the third suspension of the application in the country not to comply with court orders:. The other two were in December 2015 and May 2016. The blockade would last until the company complies with the provisions of Justice
The request is for the intercept service messages involved in crimes in the region, but after three reports, Facebook did not respond to requests, says the decision. Then, the judge asks the application divert messages before encryption or else develop technology to break the encryption. The fine for Facebook for non-compliance is $ 50,000 per day.
“The judgment requires only the encryption key of disablement, by intercepting the data stream, with the deviation real-time one of the ways suggested by the MP, in addition to the routing of messages already received by the user and not encrypted yet, ie exchanged messages should be forwarded in real time (as it is with the interception of telephone conversations) before implemented encryption “.
the judge says the service shows” utter contempt by Brazilian law. ” WhatsApp already claims that can not meet the determinations by technical limitations. In April, the service brought the encryption “end to end”, and says it has access to the messages before encryption.
Both the advice of WhatsApp as operators such as Vivo, Claro and Hi say yet received no cut request for access to WhatsApp.
Other locks
in May this year, the application was down for 25 hours. At the time, the discussion was that blocking the app was disproportionate harm by over 100 million users in Brazil. On the other hand, the judges say WhatsApp does not cooperate with the Justice Department.
In March, Marcel Montalban judge, the district Lizard (SE), which ordered the blockade of WhatsApp in May, also called for the arrest of vice President of Facebook in Latin America, the Argentine Diego Jorge Dzodan.
in December 2015, the Court of Sao Paulo ruled that at midnight the 17th WhatsApp was blocked by 48 hours. The decision was overturned by a judge in a preliminary basis, thirteen hours later.
The Civil Marco requires operators to keep user access records (as that number spoke to which that day, and that place was) for a minimum of six months and must provide them by court order. Term that can be extended depending on the court order. The clip, already popular in telephony, could also be asked to WhatsApp start intercepting and recording conversations data.
