They arrasted an ex-president and jailed a lot of people for "alleged delaying of investigation" in the weeks and months preceeding the coup detat that we had here. To be fair, every employee or director involved in the whatsapp crime should be in jail.

No, WhatsApp is not subject to the judge's jurisdiction. They do not have to cooperate, respond in reasonable fashion or anything.
The power of law has limits.
blocking whatsapp because they are being uncooperative with Brazil's legal system is completely fair.
> They asked for access to data WhatsApp has no access to, and then blocked the service when they didn't get it.
Are they required to be able to provide such data when asked if they want to operate in brazil?
Did they respond to the request in a reasonable fashion?
