Several news outlets today wrongly reported that Anonymous Antisec hackers had leaked "newly available" Facebook law enforcement guidelines that explain how and what data can be obtained by officials with a subpoena, warrant, or court order. In fact, many versions of the outdated guides were already widely available thanks to an Electronic Frontier Foundation Freedom of Information Act request, as well as other sources.Though previously available and out of date, the new coverage about how Facebook provides user information when obliged by law could stoke fears about data privacy and Big Brother. As of press time, Facebook declined to confirm that it plans to publicly release a revised version of the law enforcement guide next week. Such a guide could fuel or quell discontent depending on how much data it releases and what hoops officials must jump through.
