Microsoft received 22,939 legal
requests for customer information from law enforcement agencies during
the second half of 2017, which is a slight decrease from the previous
six-month period, the company has said.
In its biannual digital
trust report released late on Thursday, Microsoft said that a majority
of the law enforcement demands continued to come from a handful of
countries, including the US, the UK, France, and Germany.
In the January-June 2017 period, the company had received 25,367 requests.
This adds up to a total 48,306 requests during the entire 2017 -- the lowest number in the last five years.
When
it comes to the government requests for content removal for the
July-December 2017 period, China topped the list with 406 requests while
the Indian government sent only two such requests.
Microsoft's
"Content Removal Requests Report" covers requests from governments such
as claims of violations of local laws or its terms of use and requests
to remove non-consensual pornography, also referred to as "revenge
porn", among others.
According to a CNET report, Google received
48,941 requests for data from governments around the world in the first
half of 2017 while Apple had received about 30,814 demands during that
same time period.
