“Facebook said Tuesday it received more than 25,000 government data requests in the first half of 2013, with the largest number from the United States. The company’s first ‘transparency report’ showed Facebook received between 11,000 and 12,000 requests for data in the United States, affecting between 20,000 and 21,000 users. The report comes with US tech companies under pressure following revelations of a secret program which scoops up vast amounts of data from Internet firms. The Facebook report said at least some data was released in 79 percent of US data requests. The second largest number came from India, where 3,245 requests were made.”
