Google updated its Transparency Report, reporting a record number of government requests for data. Google fielded 44,943 requests covering close to 77,000 accounts, and provided data in 64 percent of those requests. Google also said it received at least one National Security Letter during the second half of 2015. Google and other tech companies have struggled since the Snowden leaks to expand how much information they can share about such requests. Germany, France, India and the United Kingdom round out the top five countries making user data requests of Google.
