“The report shows Microsoft received 37,196 requests from law enforcement agencies, potentially impacting 66,539 accounts in the first six months of 2013.  The company said it provided ‘non-content data’ — usually names or basic subscriber information — in 77 percent of requests, and nothing in some 21 percent.  In 2.19 percent of the cases, the company turned over ‘customer content,’ with more than 90 percent of these in the United States.  Tech firms including Microsoft. Google and Facebook have been seeking to release more information on government data requests, in the belief that this would reassure customers.”
