When the State Comes Knocking, How Often Does Facebook Reply?
Internet companies have started to publish how much information the state is asking about the users. But actually Facebook advocates for greater disclosures of the data from the government side, and strongly encourage all governments to provide better transparency.
Like all law-abiding companies, Facebook respects valid processes, but it can, and does, refuse to produce information for a number of reasons, including if requests are overly broad or submitted incorrectly. Its statistics show how often they refuse to produce information in response to requests issued by particular countries.
