A Brazilian judge ordered wireless phone carriers to block access to Facebook Inc’s WhatsApp for 72 hours throughout Latin America’s largest country starting Monday afternoon, the second such incident against the popular messaging application in five months.
The decision by the judge in the northeastern state of Sergipe applies to the five main wireless operators in Brazil. The reason for the order is not known due to legal secrecy in an ongoing case in the Sergipe state court.

I’m expecting one of these blockages to coincide with a land-grab of aboriginal territory, or worse.
This is just another example of third world judicial idiocy… much like Sheri Pym ordering a different company to cooperate with the secret police in another country which aspires to become third world.
secret courts…what could go wrong?
