Twitter has released its biannual transparency report, revealing a 46 per cent increase in government requests for user information.

 Statist bastards: Twitter transparency report reveals rise in government requests 1406851307315

The report, which includes government information requests, removal requests and copyright notices from January through June 2014, shows how governments around the world increasingly use Twitter to get information about users. Here are some of the noteworthy findings.
A rise in government information requests

The first half of 2014, for instance, saw a rise in information requests from governments, which Twitter says typically come in connection with criminal investigations.

There were 2058 requests from January 1 to June 30, marking a 46 per cent increase over the second half of last year. The requests affect 48 per cent more Twitter users than in the previous report.
