Apple posted a
report outlining the number of requests it has received from Government officials
seeking information about individual users and or specific devices. The report replicates
all of the information Apple is legally allowed to reveal while specifically
noting that they will continue to promote for the ability to be even more translucent
going forward. The report says:
“ At the time of this report, the
U.S. government does not allow Apple to disclose, except in broad ranges, the number of national security orders, the number of
accounts affected by the orders, or whether content, such as emails, was
disclosed. We strongly oppose this gag order, and Apple has made the case for
relief from these restrictions in meetings and discussions with the White
House, the U.S. Attorney General, congressional leaders, and the courts.
Despite our extensive efforts in this area, we do not yet have an agreement
that we feel adequately addresses our customers' right to know how often and
under what circumstances we provide data to law enforcement agencies.” For more
