Google Report Shows Governments Want More Private Data 89
judgecorp writes "The latest Google Transparency Report, which tallies the number of times personal data is requested from Google, shows that governments are becoming more inquisitive than ever. Requests for user data have gone up by 70 percent since Google started these reports in 2009 — but the report shows Google is getting better at saying no: in 2009 it complied — fully or partially — with 76 percent of requests, and that figure is now down to 66 percent."
This report is the first to feature requests broken down by the legal process used.

Came here for this.
Old scheme, 100 requests filed, 76 requests filled.
New scheme, 170 requests filed, 112 requests filled.
Providing more information isn't the same as providing less.
