Google Releases New Transparency Report

Technology company to provide annual breakdown on government requests for user data

Google has announced it will release an annual Transparency Report to provide more detailed information about requests made by governments for user data.

The announcement comes after months of pressure from privacy advocates who have argued that Google needs to be more transparent about how it handles user data. In a blog post, Google said that the report will include information on the number of requests it receives from governments, the types of data requested, and the countries making the requests.

The report will also include information on Google's efforts to protect user data from government overreach. Google said that it will not comply with requests for data that it believes are illegal or overly broad. The company also said that it will fight for the privacy of its users in court if necessary.

The Transparency Report is a significant step forward for Google in terms of transparency. The report will provide users with more information about how their data is being used and will help to ensure that Google is held accountable for its actions.
