In the first six months of 2014, Facebook has restricted access to nearly 5,000 pieces of information from India on its website.

With increasing number of Indians getting hooked to sharing content on Facebook, there has been a steady rise in requests to the social networking site from the government and other agencies to censor posts.

In the first six months of 2014, Facebook has restricted access to nearly 5,000 pieces of information from India on its website, the highest for any country. India is the social networking site's largest user base outside the U.S. with over 100 million users.

"We restricted access in India to a number of pieces of content reported primarily by law enforcement officials and the India Computer Emergency Response Team under local laws prohibiting criticism of a religion or the state," Facebook said in its Government Requests Report.

India is also ranked second, just behind the U.S., in terms of government requests for access to users and accounts.
