Google sheds light on FISA requests
http://j.mp/1fp5iuS (Google Official Blog)
"Last year we filed a lawsuit asking the FISA Court to let us disclose
the number of FISA requests we may receive and how many users/accounts
they include. We'd previously secured permission to publish
information about National Security Letters, and FISA requests were
the only remaining type of demands excluded from our report. Today,
for the first time, our report on government requests for user
information encompasses all of the requests we receive, subject only
to delays imposed by the DoJ regarding how quickly we can include
certain requests in our statistics."
