GOOGLE

Google today released its latest transparency report detailing the number and nature of requests it has received from the federal government to share user data. The company states that such requests have doubled since it started publishing them in 2010, showing the government’s increasing dependence on data gleaned from large tech companies. But the most interesting aspect of the report isn’t anything that Google revealed — it’s what it couldn’t.
In keeping with the government’s strict control over the types and amount of data tech companies are allowed to disclose, Google devoted a section of the report to a graphic displaying a few yellow bars covered with the thick, black lines used by the government’s censors. It’s a tongue-in-cheek reference to Google’s continued fight for the right to disclose such data; it’s also the latest example of the limitations imposed on these so-called transparency reports.
