Government requests for Facebook data jumped sharply in the first half of this year, according to the social media giant — the second company in recent months to say such inquiries have increased.
Requests for data from Facebook rose 24 percent, to 34,946 between January and June, compared to the last six months of last year, according to the company. The U.S. government was responsible for a little less than half those requests.
"We continue to work with our industry and civil society partners to push governments for additional transparency and to reform surveillance practices necessary to rebuild people's trust in the Internet," Facebook deputy general counsel Chris Sonderby said in a statement.
Facebook gave data to governments in roughly 80 percent of the requests.
Sonderby said Facebook is fighting back against the requests when possible, including a request for "nearly all data from the accounts of nearly 400 people" that will be heard later this year by a New York appeals court. Sonderby called the request "unprecedented."
"We scrutinize every government request we receive for legal sufficiency under our terms and the strict letter of the law, and push back hard when we find deficiencies or are served with overly broad requests," Sonderby said.
In September, Google said government requests for data had increased 15 percent in the first half of this year.
Facebook began releasing transparency reports in June 2013, after details of the National Security Agency's secret Internet surveillance program, Prism, emerged.
