‘Microsoft: We Give Your Info To The Cops 82% Of The Time’ – ‘ReadWrite’
The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “Microsoft: We Give Your Info To The Cops 82% Of The Time”.
Brian Proffitt says, “For the first time, Microsoft has released information on its level of cooperation with law enforcement requests for information about users of its online services. And, as the company oh-so-delicately puts it, “18% of law enforcement requests to Microsoft resulted in the disclosure of no customer data.”
Which, of course, means that Microsoft did hand out customer data 82% of the time. Feeling relieved yet?
According to information released by Microsoft today, the company received a total of 75,378 requests for information from law enforcement in 2012″.
