    Brazilian police arrests Facebook executive for refusing to release WhatsApp data

    Facebook called Mr Dzodan's arrest an “extreme and disproportionate measure”. Mr Dzodan's arrest was ordered by a judge in the north-eastern state of Sergipe.

    Police in Brazil have arrested the vice president of the social media company Facebook in Latin America. Diego Dzodan, an Argentine national, has repeatedly refused to comply with court orders to hand over data for use in a criminal investigation into drugs trafficking, police said. His arrest relates to the messaging service WhatsApp, owned by Facebook.
