“Google on Wednesday reported a ‘steady increase’ in government requests to hand over data from Internet users in the second half of 2012. The Web giant’s semiannual ‘transparency report’ showed the most requests came from the the United States, with 8,438 requests for information about 14,868 users. In releasing details of requests in the United States, Google said 68 percent of the requests it received from government entities were through subpoenas, which ‘are the easiest to get because they typically don’t involve judges,’ according to Salgado.”
