Summary:
WhatsApp has been banned multiple times by lower courts in Brazil as part of an ongoing investigation only to be unbanned by the higher courts. Yesterday, the widely used cross-platform messaging service was indefinitely blocked in the country as it reiterated its inability to comply with a request for user data. WhatsApp maintains that it can’t provide the user data as end-to-end encryption even makes it unable to access that data. The ban has been overturned today by the country’s Supreme Court.
