SMH: Government Requests For Facebook User Account Data Rise To 27 Percent

Prince Vega – Facebook is clearly becoming a nest for government agents who can’t get enough of requesting data belonging to Facebook users. This year alone, reports claim Facebook received 59,229 request for users account data in just the first six months. The United States agencies beat out other agencies with 80.65 percent (23,854) of the data requests. I’m sure that isn’t much of a shock to anyone at this point.
