one eye-popping statistic from the report stands out. According to Facebook, the company restricted video of a school shooting in Mexico 20,506 times after receiving a request from Mexican law enforcement. In context, that number is massive: the company only restricted content for violating local law a total of about 28,000 times, meaning the video accounted for 72 percent of restrictions in the first half of 2017. In the second half of 2016, by contrast, the company only restricted content about 7,000 times — meaning takedown requests quadrupled in the category. In Mexico, during that same 2016 period, Facebook agreed to restrict content only 25 times.
