Brazil court injunction suspends Uber ride-share service

A Brazilian court has issued an injunction suspending the U.S-based online taxi service Uber, the latest setback for the company after several countries took similar steps in recent months.

The injunction ordered Uber to cease operations immediately and to ensure the app is no longer available for download
