Verizon transparency report reveals 320,000 data requests in 2013
http://j.mp/1hjGkP8 (Washington Post)
"The vast majority of requests, about 164,000, came from law
enforcement subpoenas, followed by about 71,000 court orders. In 2013,
the company fielded 7,800 requests for real-time information about a
person's outbound and inbound calls - but of those, only about 1,500
were actual wiretap requests leading to the surveillance of a call's
content. The report also shows a growing government appetite for
location data."
