Google does not publish information about requests which come with a gag order. They were the first to request the ability to publish that data several days ago, followed by Facebook and others shortly after. Facebook is the first to publish updated statistics with the numbers from National Security Letter and FISA warrants included after being granted permission. Google presumably will do so soon as well.
- declan 13y agoIncorrect. Google disclosed NSL summary stats months ago. As you say, FISA stats are next. I'd expect them this evening.
- LoganCale 13y agoI stand corrected. They do indeed have the NSL stats, in the somewhat useless 0 – 999 range, here: https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/userdatarequests/US/ https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/userdatarequests/U...
- declan 13y agoYep, but it was more than any other company in the history of this country has ever disclosed. And give them another 48-72 hours from now to divulge more info.
- LoganCale 13y agoOh, I agree. I think it's great they're disclosing what they can and pushing to be able to disclose even more. The "somewhat useless" remark was directed more at the restrictions preventing them from divulging more than at Google themselves.
