But they do fear politicians kicking their ass and ruining their lives if that information cost them elections. Also, strained metaphor is strained.
Fact is, that's not a Transparency Report, it's PR Report, to make you feel better and not run away screaming. I've decided that Dropbox/Google Sync shouldn't be trusted for anything of any importance.
- Semiapies 13y agoIt's a report that spends most of its length telling you in some detail exactly what they can't legally tell you. Considering how self-congratulatory HN readers are about this community's intelligence, you'd think more of them would be able to read between the lines.
- Ygg2 13y agoA report telling me what it can't say is not precisely informative. Because I know that they can't tell me much about NSA. Not to mention these two claims are contradictory: "This report doesn't include national security requests." "Unfortunately, the government allows services to disclose only the aggregate number of all law enforcement and national security requests received " Does it include the NSA request, or not in the aggregate? First sentence says no, second implies yes.
