A Brazilian judge has ordered Facebook's Whatsapp to be blocked across the country for 72 hours, because it refused to provide authorities with data relating to a drug investigation. Whatsapp has said it can't provide the data, because it doesn't have it. “After cooperating to the full extent of our ability with the local courts, we are disappointed a judge in Sergipe decided yet again to order the block of WhatsApp in Brazil,” WhatsApp said in a statement.
