According to the data της Microsoft, το 76% των αιτημάτων είχαν σαν αποτέλεσμα την αποκάλυψη δεδομένων που δεν αφορούσαν περιεχόμενο, ενώ σε 21% του συνόλου των αιτημάτων, δεν αποκαλύφθηκαν δεδομένα οποιασδήποτε μορφής.
Microsoft has released data on applications from various governments and non-governmental organizations services, to control accounts and data, of its subscribers companys.
More specifically, the US company has announced that it has accepted for the second half of 2013, 35.083 applications from various government agencies around the world that concerned 58.676 e-mail accounts. Altogether, for 2013, Microsoft received 72.999 requests for 125.215 accounts.
Data shows that applications fell slightly compared to 2012, so 75.378 requests for 137.424 accounts were recorded. Obviously the reduction is not impressive, something that many would expect after the noise generated by the illegal surveillance over the past few months.
According to Microsoft data, 76% of requests resulted in the disclosure of non-content data, while 21% of all requests did not reveal any form of data. User content was revealed only in 2,32% of cases.
Out of all the requests, there were only three court orders that concerned data related to services offered by businesses and concerned 15 accounts. Furthermore, out of the hundreds of millions of Microsoft accounts, only 0,01% of them were affected.
The largest volume of applications came from the various security agencies of the United States, reaching 80%. Globally, the most requests to investigate user accounts came from the US, the Turkey, Germany, France and Britain.
Indeed, in its announcement, Microsoft notes that there should be international cooperation on the issue of the publication of personal user data, precisely because requests come from many different governments with different laws.
