Notes
- Re: Disclosure Requests Received from EU Member States
- The data provided is according to the requirements of the DSA, Article 15, “Transparency reporting obligations for providers of intermediary services.”
- The information provided is for the total number of disclosure requests per country, broken down by type of reported content at issue.
- We are also reporting the median time (in hours) that it took to confirm receipt and take action on reported content.
Recent Examples
Here are a few recent examples of requests for user information that we received from government sources. We did not provide information in response to any of these requests.
Norway
- A Norwegian police department requested detailed reasons for the suspension of several accounts, alleging an investigation into CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material). They did not provide additional explanation or valid legal process to support their request.
United States
- The FBI, on behalf of Argentinian authorities, requested detailed information about a Tumblr user to identify and disrupt potential child sexual abuse. They provided screenshots of a Telegram account with the same username as a Tumblr user but did not provide sufficient evidence to link the two accounts beyond the shared username. No valid legal process was provided.
- The FBI requested detailed information about a user on an emergency basis, citing a post where the user threatened to “kill Zionist” to mitigate the threat. The request was denied because the threat did not meet the specific, active, imminent, and serious criteria. The threat was general and hyperbolic, lacking a specific target, date, time, location, or means.
- Another request from the FBI to disclose information about a user who published concerning posts idolizing the Columbine High School shooters and expressed a potential desire to commit a school shooting. The request was denied due to insufficient evidence of an immediate danger of death or serious bodily injury.
Italy
- Unlike previous reports we’ve received in the past from Italian authorities, our sole report this period consisted of a large number of unique pieces of content, perhaps marking a change in the reporting manner we’ve seen so far.
