In 6 months, US law enforcement asked Google for data on 21,000 users

Ars Technica writes In 6 months, US law enforcement asked Google for data on 21,000 users "Google announced on Thursday that US government (local, state, federal) requests for data has reached 21,683 users between January through June 2013. By comparison, the company’s previous reporting period (July through December 2012) saw requests from US authorities for 14,791 accounts—a jump of about 32 percent. Again, the United States remains at the top of this list by a wide margin. India, Germany, France and the United Kingdom round out the next four positions, respectively."
