Government requests for Facebook data rose 27% in the first half of 2017.

Facebook’s official announcement explained that requests for user data went from 46,710 in the last half of 2015 to 59,229 in the first half of 2016. At least 56 percent of these requests, Facebook added, “contained a non-disclosure order that prohibited us from notifying the user.”

Law enforcement agencies from across the globe, Facebook continued, often send restriction requests demanding Facebook remove content from its forums. Fortunately, these requests dropped substantially this year, from 55,827 in the last half of 2015 to 9,663 in 2016 — an 87 percent drop. Most of the 2015 requests revolved around “French content restrictions of a single image from the November 13, 2015 terrorist attacks.”

    Let ’em. Aside from a few calls for the assassination of certain political figures, pictures of me rigging heroin with celebrities, and some links to child porn, they got nothin on me.

    Date should read “2016” instead of “2017” in first line.
