In March 2016, Facebook's then-VP for Latin America, Diego Dzodan, was jailed for 24 hours for not handing over WhatsApp messages to Brazilian police.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote a 3,200-word blog on Wednesday spelling out how Facebook is going to lean into end-to-end encryption.
Zuckerberg said without encryption, Facebook may"have to turn over the data or risk our employees being arrested if we failed to comply" with unlawful government demands., Mark Zuckerberg illustrated a point about privacy using the example of a jailed Facebook executive. "Governments often make unlawful demands for data, and while we push back and fight these requests in court, there's always a risk we'll lose a case — and if the information isn't encrypted we'd either have to turn over the data or risk our employees being arrested if we failed to comply," he wrote.
