Facebook or at least one of its companies seems to always pop up in the news every week and last week was no different as Whatsapp was blocked for 72 hours in Brazil. Why?Because a court order mandated that local telecommunication companies block the messaging service for 3-days, for allegedly failing to provide information needed in a drug trafficking investigation. However the ‘break -in-transmission’ only lasted for 24 hours.

iPhone, iPad, and iMac users had difficulties finding apps in the app store as a result of this glitch. Apple fixed it in under 24-hours though.
