Facebook Inc emails appear to show chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg's involvement in discussions about its much criticized privacy practices, the Wall Street Journal reported on June 12, citing people familiar with the matter.

The newspaper said reporters had not seen the emails and relied on unnamed people. The report said the communications "appear to show chief executive Mark Zuckerberg’s connection to potentially problematic privacy practices at the company". Shares of the Menlo Park, California-based company were down 1.8% at US$174.9 (RM728) in early afternoon trading.
