Twitter details takedown, data requests

Twitter released a report late Monday detailing requests it has received this year for user information, removal and copyright takedown requests.

The company said it complied with 75 percent of the 679 requests for information it received from the U.S. government. The United States requested the most data from the company, leading the list by a wide margin. Japan was second with 98 requests, followed by the British and Canadian governments, which both filed 11 requests. All other countries on the list asked for information 10 or fewer times since Jan. 1.
