Here is the Facebook's letter to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) that garnered this response.

Here are earlier communications between TRAI and Facebook

If you zoom into that blacked out dropbox URL in the PDF, you can still see the characters... yikes.

Poor redaction aside (most of it is fairly clear at the default size the PDF loaded on my system), why would Facebook host the list of commenters (13.5M people, according to Facebook) and comments on Dropbox? I'd've thought they would host it on their own infrastructure.

There is no contact information in those files (there's a bunch of them). Just a date, name and (template) comment. Mostly pointless.
