> But Whatsapp simply ignored brazilian justice system as if it was above the law. For me, all of this is Whatsapp fault.
Whatsapp deletes its messages from its servers after delivery. So it can't even provide the messages even if it wanted to.
Also, since end-to-end encryption, the as-yet-undelivered messages sitting on Whatsapp servers are encrypted. Whatsapp has no way to actually read them.

That's not a valid excuse for any law I'm aware of. It's your responsibility to be aware of, and to comply with, laws in places you do business in. To be clear, this is a terrible law, and I think Whatsapp should absolutely not concede to it. But just so we're clear, "I didn't know any better" isn't an excuse for breaking the law.
