The Australian government is increasingly asking Twitter for private information about users, new data released by the social media site reveals.

Fuckers: Twitter hands over information to government 1375406954697

Australian authorities asked Twitter for information on 58 users in the first six months of 2013, compared with fewer than 10 in the second half of 2012.

Only the United States and Japanese governments sought information about more accounts, the transparency report released on Thursday showed.

Twitter adopted its Transparency Report in July 2012, and has received inquiries from 35 different governments since.

The New Zealand government has made no requests for information in that time, according to the most recent and historical reports.

The social media site received a total of 1157 requests from 26 different governments between January and June, 2013, including Canada, Germany, the Netherlands and Turkey. More than 900 of the requests came from the US.

Twitter gave Australian authorities what they sought in 25 per cent of cases compared with 67 per cent in the US.
