Shows 42% of all Government information requests comes from US, says Yahoo!

More governmental information requests come from the US than any other country says Yahoo! in a new transparency report.

The Yahoo! transparency report covers Q1 and Q2 of 2013.  During this time, Yahoo stated that it received nearly 43,000 requests from 17 different governments. Yahoo says it received 12,444 total US requests, which affected 40,322 Yahoo accounts.  The US (perhaps not surprisingly) was the top source with 42 percent of all requests.

In 37% of the information request cases, Yahoo disclosed content in reply to the Governmental request. In about 55% of the cases listed, Yahoo only provided non-content data, like a user’s name, location or alternate email address.
