Governments worldwide submitted 374,516 requests for user data to Meta in the first half of 2025, a 15.6% increase from the same period in 2024.
Of the total requests, Meta states that it supplied 78.7% of the requested data. That is, 295,125 of the total requests supplied.
This data comes from Meta’s Transparency Report.
Of the total requests, approximately 46,000 were labeled as emergency disclosures.
These requests were granted without court orders for alleged imminent threats such as kidnappings or terrorism, prompting scrutiny of whether governments are addressing genuine crises or exploiting this pathway to evade judicial oversight.
