Putrajaya will appeal to Facebook for information on accounts
Putrajaya will appeal to Facebook to get the information of 197 users on the social networking site, said Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek.
According to the Communication and Multimedia Minister, Facebook had the right to decline the government’s application and would probably have its own reason for it.
“Facebook receives hundreds of millions of complaints per day so they definitely choose which complaint to look at,” he said when met by reporters at the Pavilion mall in Kuala Lumpur today.
He said the requests to Facebook did not only come from governments around the world but from individuals who have a problem with the social networking site.

Facebook says no to Putrajaya’s request for details on 197 users
Facebook had rejected, on 7 occasions, requests from Putrajaya for information on 197 users.
Data revealed in the first ever Global Government Requests Report by the social networking site showed the Malaysian government did not receive any information from them.
“We scrutinise each request for legal sufficiency under our terms and the strict letter of the law, and require a detailed description of the legal and factual basis for each request.
“We fight many of these requests, pushing back when we find legal deficiencies and narrowing the scope of overly broad or vague requests,” said Facebook’s General Counsel Colin Stretch.
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) could not be reached for comment.
