Government Requests for User Data

United Kingdom

Meta responds to government requests for data in accordance with applicable law and our terms of service. Each and every request we receive is carefully reviewed for legal sufficiency and we may reject or require greater specificity on requests that appear overly broad or vague. The charts below provide data on the number of requests we received, the number of users/accounts requested, and the rate we complied with all or some of the government's request.

To the extent Meta has received requests under the Investigatory Powers Act from the UK pursuant to the US-UK Data Access Agreement (which entered into force on October 3, 2022), reporting on any such requests will be delayed and in accordance with the applicable requirements of that law.
