Just recently WhatsApp was banned from being used in Brazil a decision which got the CEO very worried.But thanks to the government who listened to the voices of Brazilians who were denied access to the online messaging application and they reverted the ban.Mark Zuckerberg took to his facebook wall to share his joy on the reversal of the ban and urges Brazilians to go online and sign a petition in support of the use of the application in Brazil.Read what he wrote,
"WhatsApp is now back online in Brazil! Your voices have been heard once again. Thank you to our community for helping resolve this.
That said, the idea that everyone in Brazil can be denied the freedom to communicate the way they want is very scary in a democracy.
You and your friends can help make sure this never happens again, and I hope you get involved.
Tomorrow, in Brasilia at 6pm, the Internet Freedom Caucus is hosting an event and will be introducing laws to prevent blocking internet services like WhatsApp.
If you are Brazilian and you support WhatsApp, I encourage you to make your voice heard. Spread the word online by signing this petition (https://www.change.org/p/poder-judici%C3%A1rio-bloqueio-n%C…) or join the event in person tomorrow (https://www.facebook.com/events/1735225276749706/).
The greatest impact you can have is to show up in front of Congress at 6pm. There will be a lively discussion of the importance of connecting people.
Brazilians have been leaders in connecting the world and creating an open internet for many years. I hope you make your voice heard now and demand change.
#ConnectBrazil #ConnectTheWorld"
