A judicial order blocking whatsapp in brazil has been overturned by a different judge. The whatsapp block marks the second time in five months that the messaging app has been blocked in brazil.

On Monday, a judge in the northeastern state of Sergipe had ordered Brazil's five main wireless operators to block access to WhatsApp for 72 hours. The reason for the order was not made public due to legal secrecy in an ongoing case before the state court.

However, a different judge from the state tribunal intervened to cancel Monday's ruling following an appeal from WhatsApp's lawyers, the court said in a statement.
