Facebook just released a "fact check" statement rebutting claims attributed to a Turkish government official, who was reported as saying the company was cooperating with the Turkish government in handing over data on certain users who posted about the ongoing protests in the country. "Facebook has not provided user data to Turkish authorities in response to government requests relating to the protests," Facebook's rebuttal reads. "More generally, we reject all government data requests from Turkish authorities and push them to formal legal channels unless it appears that there is an immediate threat to life or a child, which has been the case in only a small fraction of the requests we have received."
