“Google, Facebook, and Microsoft were among the technology companies to release new figures Monday showing a rising number of requests for their users’ data coming from a secretive U.S. surveillance court.  Depending on the company, the content might include private messages, documents, photos or videos.  By releasing the new numbers, the companies hope to become more transparent about the government data requests they receive tied to national security.  ‘Publishing these numbers is a step in the right direction,’ said Richard Salgado, Google’s legal director for law enforcement and information security, in a blog post breaking out the figures.”
