Brazil Arrests Facebook Exec In Battle Over WhatsApp Data
- The New York Times, Tuesday, March 1, 2016 3:16 PM
Police in Brazil arrested Facebook vice president Diego Dzodan on Tuesday because the company didn't disclose information from a WhatsApp account. A judge requested the information as part of an investigation into drug trafficking. The New York Times says it's unclear whether Facebook is able to comply, given that WhatsApp doesn't store users' messages.
