We ’re talking super high here . While the United Kingdom came in as the runner up , with 127 requests from law enforcement agencies , the United States boasts between 1,000 and 2,000 requests . ( See the full crack-up below . ) Apple was not able to reveal the exact act , because it ’s currently illegal to do so — a fact that cause Apple sad . The companywrote in the report :
We powerfully oppose this gag order , and Apple has made the case for relief from these restrictionsin meetings and discussions with the White House , the U.S. Attorney General , congressional leader , and the royal court . Despite our extensive efforts in this area , we do not yet have an agreement that we feel adequately address our customers ’ right to know how often and under what circumstances we provide information to law enforcement authority .
Apple ’s fall in companies like Google and Facebook to adjudicate and get that gag order reversed . Until then , just know that the U.S. political science is hungry for substance abuser data — very hungry . Of course , we really already knew that . [ AppleviaTNW ]
