TIME: NSA Scandal: Tech Titans Jockey to Be the Most Transparent of All

http://j.mp/11WXRqx  (TIME)

     For Google, which earlier this year was the first Internet company to
     disclose requests made for National Security Letters (NSLs) - a
     separate type of query than FISA requests - the arrangement struck by
     Facebook, Microsoft, Apple and Yahoo was not satisfactory. "We have
     always believed that it's important to differentiate between different
     types of government requests," Google said in a statement. "We already
     publish criminal requests separately from National Security Letters.
     Lumping the two categories together would be a step back for users.
     Our request to the government is clear: to be able to publish
     aggregate numbers of national-security requests, including FISA
     disclosures, separately."
