o Government Requests for Twitter Account Information Jump 40%
San Francisco -- Requests by global governments for Twitter user account information has grown 40% since last July, according to a new report from the company. Russia, Turkey and the U.S. had the largest increases in requests during the six-month period, ending in December. "The continued rise follows industry trends and is also likely due in part to Twitter's continued international expansion," the company wrote. "There were also several world events during this time period, including various elections and terrorist attacks, which led to an increase in requests." In the U.S., government requests for information about account holders jumped 29% to 1,622, with the company complying 80% of the time. Twitter said that the U.S. accounts for 56% of all of its information requests worldwide. The complete report is available at the link below.
