Google offers up the number of criminal justice requests for user information. They'd offer up the number of national security requests, but that number is, for some reason, a secret.
Given that the Bad Guys know it's going on and act accordingly, one has to wonder from whom that secret is being kept.

We just updated our Transparency Report, showing how many requests Google gets for information about its users. But we're not allowed to give the full story because the U.S. government says that requests under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) must be kept secret. We can tell you this: Requests have more than doubled around the world since 2009, and more than tripled in the U.S.: http://g.co/u5sp
Share this if you believe you have a right to know what our governments are up to.
