Facebook on its page for “Information for Law Enforcement Authorities” states that if a law enforcement official is seeking information about a Facebook user who has provided consent for the official to access or obtain the user’s account information, the user should be directed to obtain that information on their own from their account. It also says that the law enforcement officials who believe that notification would jeopardize an investigation should obtain an appropriate court order or other process establishing that notice is prohibited. Law enforcement officials may also request nondisclosure if notice would lead to risk of harm. If your data request draws attention to an ongoing violation of our terms of use, we will take action to prevent further abuse, including actions that may notify the user that we are aware of their misconduct.
