According to a report released by Facebook in its biannual government requests made to remove the content on the largest Social Networking site in the world, India has topped the list featuring 92 other countries.
As per Facebook report, Indian government made the maximum number of requests to remove content from Facebook. India made 15,155 demands while Turkey came second with 4,496 requests and France third with 295 demands.
There has been three-fold increase in the demands made by India in the first six months of 2015 when compared to the 5,832 requests made for content removal from June to December 2014.
“We restricted access in India to content reported primarily by law enforcement agencies and the India Computer Emergency Response Team within the Ministry of Communications and Information technology because it was anti-religious and hate speech that could cause unrest and disharmony within India,” read the report of Facebook.
