From 2013 to mid 2017, Switzerland’s authorities sent 361 data requests to Facebook, most related to suspected terrorist activity. The social network refused to provide information for 253 (70%) of these requests, according to the newspaper SonntagsZeitung. Over the first six months of 2017, Facebook shared user profile information for eight out of twelve such requests. Despite the high number of information request rejections, Musliu says that working with Facebook has certainly improved. A report entitled: The future treatment of data and data security, is expected to be published at the end of summer.
