拒提交嫌犯通讯信息，巴西冻结
Facebook资金600万美元 -

据路透社报道，巴西法院周四冻结了Facebook的1950万雷亚尔（约合607万美元）资金，原因是该公司旗下的消息应用WhatsApp拒绝在一起贩毒案件中向警方提供嫌疑犯的通讯信息。
巴西联邦警察表示，他们从今年1月起就开始调查一个跨国毒品走私集团，但WhatsApp多次拒绝了提交集团成员嫌犯的通讯信息的要求。
没有这些数据，警方就难以或无法证明这些最近被抓捕的嫌犯与贩毒集团的联系。
在长达5个月的时间内多次拒绝提交信息后，巴西一位法官宣布冻结Facebook的资金，该资金与WhatsApp因未能遵守命令而遭受的累计罚款相当。
据悉，WhatsApp在巴西并没有银行账户，因此法官宣布冻结其母公司Facebook的资金。
不过，这家法院并未利用巴西互联网法规中的条款关闭WhatsApp的服务。
在今年早些时候一起类似的案件中，一位巴西法官裁定关闭WhatsApp的服务72个小时，这令巴西约1亿WhatsApp用户愤怒不已。在关停24个小时后，另一家法院解除了这一命令。
Facebook当时在封杀期间表示，WhatsApp并不存储用户的信息，即便存储公司也无法读取，因为这些信息经过了加密。
目前，Facebook尚未立即就巴西法院的冻结令置评。
