Google sheds light on FISA requests

http://j.mp/1fp5iuS  (Google Official Blog)

   "Last year we filed a lawsuit asking the FISA Court to let us disclose
    the number of FISA requests we may receive and how many users/accounts
    they include. We'd previously secured permission to publish
    information about National Security Letters, and FISA requests were
    the only remaining type of demands excluded from our report.  Today,
    for the first time, our report on government requests for user
    information encompasses all of the requests we receive, subject only
    to delays imposed by the DoJ regarding how quickly we can include
    certain requests in our statistics."
