WASHINGTON — Government agents in 74 countries demanded information on about 38,000 Facebook users in the first half of this year, with about half the orders coming from authorities in the United States, the company said Tuesday. The social-networking giant is the latest technology company to release figures on how often governments seek information about its customers. Microsoft and Google have done the same. As with the other companies, it’s hard to discern much from Facebook’s data, besides the fact that, as users around the globe flocked to the world’s largest social network, police and intelligence agencies followed. Facebook and Twitter have become organizing platforms for activists

and, as such, have become targets for governments. During anti-government protests in Turkey in May and June, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called social media “the worst menace to society.” At the time, Facebook denied it provided information about protest organizers to the Turkish government. Data released Tuesday show authorities in Turkey submitted 96 requests covering 173 users. Facebook said it provided some information in about 45 of those cases, but there’s no information on what was turned over and why. “We fight many of these requests, pushing back when we find legal deficiencies and narrowing the scope of overly broad or vague requests,” Colin Stretch, Facebook’s

Lab owner sentenced in waste case JACKSON — An environmental laboratory owner in Mississippi has been sentenced to more than three years in federal prison after being convicted of falsifying records on industrial wastewater samples. U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate in Jackson sentenced Tennie White to 40 months during a hearing Monday. White was the sole operator of Mississippi Environmental Analytical Laboratories Inc. She
also was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine. She was convicted in May in U.S. District Court in Jackson on two counts of making false statements and one count of obstruction. White’s lawyer, Abby Brumley, has said they plan to appeal. The indictment from November 2012 says Borg Warner Emissions Systems Inc. hired White to test wastewater discharge at its car parts plant in Water Valley. It says White created three reports in 2009 that indicated testing had been done, when it had not.
STARKVILLE — Mississippi State continues to rank among the nation’s top research universities, according to new data from the National Science Foundation. The recently released NSF Higher Education Research and Development Survey for Fiscal Year 2011 places Mississippi State at 91st overall among public and private institutions based on $226.1 million in total re-
search and development expenditures. Nationally, MSU is ranked 53rd in non-medical school R&D expenditures. The land-grant institution remains a top 10 school in the U.S. for agricultural sciences, as well as a top 50 university in engineering. In computer science, MSU climbed from 39th to 37th. It also achieved top 30 status in social sciences, and rose

from 82nd to 75th in environmental science, according to the NSF. “These significant totals are the result of very hard work by our faculty, and they represent the commitment we have as a university to providing innovative solutions, creative works and new scholarship that address pressing local, state, regional, national and global needs,” said David Shaw, the university’s vice president for research and economic development. At 48 percent, MSU’s research expenditures accounted for nearly half of the total for state institutions, the survey found. Additionally, the university had more than 4,000 research personnel — accounting for 60 percent of the total for the state. “We have an innovation ecosystem in place on campus that is leverag-
ing our research to grow capacity and the economy by creating jobs, enhancing quality of life and providing new opportunities in communities around our state,” Shaw said. The full NSF report is online at www.nsf.gov/ statistics/nsf13325/pdf/ nsf13325.pdf. In addition to its NSF status, Mississippi State is designated by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a “Very High Research Activity University,” which represents the highest level of research activity for doctorate-granting universities in the country. MSU is the only school in the state with the distinction, and one of only 108 nationwide.

MERIDIAN — Authorities say as many as six inmates may be charged as instigators of a weekend disturbance at the Lauderdale County jail in Meridian. Chief Deputy Ward Calhoun said charges were still being sorted out. “We have multiple individuals who are going to be charged but ... we still
are trying to get all the charges together,” said Calhoun. About 9:40 p.m. Saturday, law enforcement officers and emergency personnel, including a SWAT team, were called to quell the incident. Calhoun said a tussle between a correctional officer and an inmate resulted in that inmate getting the keys to many of the pods of C Building. Sheriff Billy Sollie said although the inmates could open doors to the pods that hold up to 30 inmates, none of the inmates could get out of C Building.

an uphill battle. Facebook turned over some data in response to about 60 percent of those requests. It’s not clear from the Facebook data how many of the roughly 26,000 government requests on 38,000 users were for law-enforcement purposes and how many were for intelligence gathering. Technology and government officials have said criminal investigations are far more common than national security matters as a justification for demanding information from companies. The numbers are imprecise because the federal government forbids companies from revealing how many times they’ve been ordered to turn over information about their customers. Facebook released only a range of figures for the United States.

general counsel company said in a blog post. “When we are required to comply with a particular request, we frequently share only basic user information, such as name.” Facebook spokeswoman Sarah Feinberg said the company stands by its assertions that it gave no information regarding the Turkey protests. “The data included in the report related to Turkey is about child endangerment and emergency law enforcement requests,” she said. Facebook and other technology companies have been criticized for helping the National Security Agency secretly collect data on customers. Federal law gives government the authority to demand data without specific warrants, and while companies can fight requests in secret court hearings, it’s
