Pursuant to Title 18, United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 2709
(Section 201 of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986), the
FBI issued a National Security Letter (NSL) NSL-17-431971 to Facebook.
The NSL included a nondisclosure requirement that prohibited you, any
officer, employee, or agent of your company from disclosing the letter
and that the FBI had sought or obtained access to information, other than
to those to whom disclosure was necessary to comply with the letter or to
an attorney to obtain legal advice or legal assistance with respect to
the letter. Consistent with the requirements of the USA FREEDOM Act of
2015 and the Termination Procedures for NSL Nondisclosure Requirement,
the FBI has reviewed whether to continue the nondisclosure requirement
in the NSL and determined that nondisclosure is no longer necessary
with respect to all information contained in the NSL except as set forth
below.

Accordingly, and consistent with law, you may exercise your
discretion to disclose the following:

The fact that you received the NSL on a certain date;

The customer account(s) for which information was sought; and
Whether or not you provided responsive information to the FBI
pursuant to the NSL.

If you choose, you may disclose the NSL itself provided that doing
so would be consistent with other legal obligations you may have.

 

However, consistent with the relevant statute, the FBI requests that the

name and telephone number of the FBI Special Agent included on the NSL be
redacted because disclosure may result in danger to the life or physical

safety of a person. Please note that the name and telephone number of

the FBI Special Agent might appear in two places on the NSL and should be
redacted accordingly:

In the paragraph discussing your right to challenge the NSL, in
the sentence that reads, "That notice must be mailed or faxed
to the FBI Anchorage Field Office, attention [redact name and
telephone number], with a copy to FBI HQ, attention: General
Counsel (fax number: and must reference the date
of the NSL and the identification number found on the upper left
corner of the 

Near the last page of the NSL, in a sentence that reads, "Any
questions you have regarding this letter should be directed to
the FBI Anchorage Field Office or attention [redact name and
telephone number]."

Please direct any questions you have regarding this letter to the
Anchorage FBI Field Office.

If you choose, you may disclose the NSL itself provided that doing
so would be consistent with other legal obligations you may have.

 

However, consistent with the relevant statute, the FBI requests that the
name and telephone number of the FBI Special Agent included on the NSL be
redacted because disclosure may result in danger to the life or physical
safety of a person. Please note that the name and telephone number of

the FBI Special Agent might appear in two places on the NSL and should be
redacted accordingly:

- In the paragraph discussing your right to challenge the NSL, in
the sentence that reads, "That notice must be mailed or faxed
to the FBI Anchorage Field Office, attention [redact name and
telephone number], with a copy to FBI HQ, attention: General
Counsel (fax number:? and must reference the date
of the NSL and the identification number found on the upper left

Near the last page of the NSL, in a sentence that reads, "Any
questions you have regarding this letter should be directed to

Pursuant to Title 18, United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 2709
(Section 201 of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986), the
FBI issued a National Security Letter (NSL) NSL-14-397935 to Instagram
LLC. The NSL included a nondisclosure requirement that prohibited you,
any officer, employee, or agent of your company from disclosing the
letter and that the FBI had sought or obtained access to information,
other than to those to whom disclosure was necessary to comply with the
letter or to an attorney to obtain legal advice or legal assistance
with respect to the letter. Consistent with the requirements of the USA
FREEDOM Act of 2015 and the Termination Procedures for NSL Nondisclosure
Requirement, the FBI has reviewed whether to continue the nondisclosure
requirement in the NSL and determined that nondisclosure is no longer
necessary with respect to all information contained in the NSL except as
set forth below.

Accordingly, and consistent with law, you may exercise your
discretion to disclose the following:

The fact that you received the NSL on a certain date;

The customer account(s) for which information was sought; and
Whether or not you provided responsive information to the FBI
pursuant to the NSL.

If you choose, you may disclose the NSL itself provided that doing
so would be consistent with other legal obligations you may have.

However, consistent with the relevant statute, the FBI requests that the
name and telephone number of the FBI Special Agent included on the NSL be
redacted because disclosure may result in danger to the life or physical
safety of a person. Please note that the name and telephone number of

the FBI Special Agent might appear in two places on the NSL and should be
redacted accordingly:

In the paragraph discussing your right to Challenge the NSL, in
the sentence that reads, "That notice must be mailed or faxed

to the FBI Cincinnati Field Office, attention [redact name and
telephone number], with a copy to FBI HQ, attention: General
Counsel (fax number: and must reference the date
of the NSL and the identification number found on the upper left
corner of the 

Near the last page of the NSL, in a sentence that reads, "Any
questions you have regarding this letter should be directed to

telephone number]."

Please direct any questions you have regarding this letter to the
