US Government Can Legally Access Your Facebook Data (And Now We Know How)

US Government Can Legally Access Your Facebook Data (And Now We Know How)

US Government Can Legally Access Your Facebook Data (And Now We Know How)

by Tyler Durden
Dec 27, 2016 9:20 AM

Submitted by Alice Salles via TheAntiMedia.org,

The end of the year is approaching, and data concerning government abuses of power has begun pouring in.

According to Facebook’s Global Government Requests Report, government’s requests for Facebook account data rose 27 percent in the first half of 2016.

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.”

Additionally, Facebook used its report to disclose for the first time what the company does when law enforcement agencies request “snapshots” of a user account that might be relevant to law enforcement for undisclosed reasons.

These “preservation requests,” as they are known, are requests to “preserve data pending receipt of formal legal process.” They are often processed by the social media website as snapshots, which are preserved temporarily. According to Facebook, the company does not “disclose any of the preserved records unless and until we receive formal and valid legal process.” In the first half of 2016, Facebook received 38,675 preservation requests regarding 67,129 accounts, a staggering number of requests.

Further, Facebook insisted it does not give law enforcement any “back doors” to user information. Adding that requests are only fulfilled if they meet legal requirements or “legal sufficiency,” as Facebook puts it, they claim to “apply a rigorous approach to every government request [they] receive to protect the information of the people who use [their] services,” the company added. But this rigorous approach is not rigorous enough if “reforms” designed to avoid privacy overreach in America simply don’t go far enough.

Take the USA Freedom Act, for instance. The 2015 law was once supported by libertarian-leaning congressmen like Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI). Later, however, Amash criticized the bill after changes giving government more power were adopted.

Mentioning the new rule by name, Facebook added that “as a result of transparency reforms introduced this year by the USA Freedom Act, our report also contains additional information concerning National Security Letters (NSLs).” NSLs are “extraordinary search procedures” that give the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) the power to “compel the disclosure of customer records held by banks, telephone companies, Internet Service Providers, and others.” They are extraordinary because detailed information can be surrendered without proper oversight, an issue that has led to countless cases of abuse.

While NSLs are still being implemented, the gag order related to the procedure has changed. Now, “the government goes to court to justify the gag order only if an NSL recipient notifies the FBI of its desire for judicial review in the first place.” While the government bears “the burden of immediately going to court and proving its necessity,” NSLs give the FBI the power to bypass this important step.

Explaining that “the government lifted a gag requirement on one NSL issued in the second half of 2015,” the company decided to publish it. It’s unclear sure how many other NSLs Facebook has received.

Facebook may promise to “apply a rigorous approach to every government request” that comes its way, but rigor may only be practiced within the boundaries of U.S. law. If the law fails to protect the user’s privacy by allowing agencies to use “extraordinary” procedures, your data is never protected, no matter how well-meaning companies like Facebook claim to be.

According to Facebook, other government requests concerning “imminent risk of serious injury or death” are also granted on a regular basis. At least 3,016 of these requests were made in the first half of 2016. They targeted 4,192 accounts.

Search warrants were produced in only 13,742 cases of request for data while only 781 others were backed by court orders.

The government records every thing on the net for national security reasons but passes on this information to local law groups. So they need a legal loophole when presenting this information in courts in non national security cases like drugs.

Face the facts the system is corrupt and needs oversight yet all the authorities have to do is yell national security and no one is allowed to know what they do.

Who's going to do the oversight?  They won't let the people do that but some bum fuck elected people.

I assume everything I do online is recorded, monitored and prepared to be used against me.  Usually with some heavily suggestive twists.

I use a fake name and email although I know that doesn't do much.

It's controlled for the most part and will be even more as time passes.

Nobody should put any criminal activity on there or threaten people unless they are a complete dumb ass.

No such thing as privacy anymore.

It's only going to get worse...they want to monitor everything you do down to well pretty much everything. Like the smartphone imagine the possibilities the standardization of VR will do to privacy.

Anyone that calls themself a doxxer is not a hacker.
You clearly don't even know what HACKER means.
Scraping public information isn't even cracking - the proper term.

You just sound like a script kiddie.

Leave the "hacking" to people that can actually crack and hack.

Sorry but I hate people like you.
You are the reason hackers look bad.

A real "hacker" wouldn't be on a public board like this babbling nonsense.
They'd be telling off full of shit script-kiddies instead.

At best you MAY be able to GUESS some login/reset information.
That's not hacking. That is guessing.

If you were able to hack Facebook they would pay you a lot of money for the bugs.
Tell us how much money you make and then come back.

:wink:

I thought the NSA admitted to having everything stored from computers and phones.  Did I fall for some bullshit again?

No, they didn't.  They collected metadata.  In other words, they know which numbers called which numbers and for how long.  They don't have the contents of the communications.

wrong. if they have the metadata they damn well have the voice data. remember, there is no sound on phone lines or wireless carriers, but pure unadulterated data being transferred.

You don't know what you're talking about.  Metadata is stored by the phone companies.  The digital voice data isn't.  Neither are the text messages.

bro, stick with one story lie will ya?

first you say the NSA has the metadata, then you say only the cell phone companies have it.

just believe it when i say metadata contains more than you think. all data from phone calls are recorded. this includes voice data. and the NSA has it.
