SAO PAULO: Facebook Inc's fine for withholding WhatsApp messages from a drug-trafficking investigation in Brazil should be reduced to 23mil reais (RM24.68mil), a Brazilian federal appeals court ruled on June 26.

The decision overturned a fine of around 2.035bil reais (RM2.17bil) imposed in June 2017, deemed disproportionate by the court.
