A Brazilian judge has ordered the release of a Facebook executive one day after he was jailed in São Paulo for "repeated non-compliance with court orders,".
Facebook spokesman Matt Steinfeld confirmed that executive Diego Dzodan has indeed been released. Dzodan was arrested after apparently refusing to provide WhatsApp messages that the Brazilian police sought in connection with a drug case. Since late 2014, all WhatsApp messages sent between Android devices are end-to-end encrypted, which means that not even parent company Facebook can access their plaintext contents. (WhatsApp messages that involve an iOS device are not end-to-end encrypted).
