Google's 'Transparency Report' sketchy, inconclusive: Government
by Prasad Krishna — published Nov 22, 2012 — filed under: ,
Google calls it the 'Transparency Report', but as far as Indian authorities are concerned, it is anything but. The world's largest Internet company this week published its latest half-yearly findings on government requests for access to personal information, showing that both the number of requests and the rate of denials have risen. The data, according to the world's largest democracy, are too sketchy for any clear conclusions to be drawn.
