Arrest of Facebook exec, now freed, stirs debate in Brazil

Diego Dzodan, the vice president of Facebook for Latin America, was arrested by police in Sao Paulo. He was arrested on Tuesday morning after Facebook declined to turn over information on application usage by people accused of drug trafficking. Facebook and WhatsApp, which has no official representation in Brazil, are the only two large technology companies that do not cooperate with law enforcement in Brazil in such cases. A judge granted Facebook a habeas corpus petition that was reviewed and granted by a judge in the highest state court in Sergipe early Wednesday.”]
