Yahoo published a rather routine update to its bi-annual transparency report on Thursday.
Covering the window between July and December 2014, the document offers a glimpse into the number of requests for user data and content removal demanded by government agencies in the nations where Yahoo operates.
This includes National Security Letters (NSLs) and criminal data requests, including search warrants, court orders, and subpoenas issued in criminal investigations.
Yahoo highlighted Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) requests are on a slightly different time table (January 1 - June 30, 2014) because they are subject to a six-month delay imposed by the U.S. Government. Yahoo also clarified that the U.S. data posted doesn’t include domestic national security requests.
