“The Global Network Initiative, which includes Google, Facebook, Yahoo and Microsoft, asked the countries to ‘report on the requests they make for electronic communications surveillance and to make it legally possible for companies to report regularly to the public on the government requests that they receive from law enforcement as well as national security authorities.’  Letters were sent to senior government officials responsible for foreign affairs, justice, and security, with copies to data protection authorities, the group said.  Copies were sent to representatives at the United Nations offices in Geneva, in advance of discussions on human rights and communications surveillance.”
