When you use the Internet, you entrust your conversations, thoughts,
experiences, locations, photos, and more to companies like Google,
AT&T and Facebook. But what do these companies do when the
government demands your private information? Do they stand with you? Do
they let you know what’s going on?
In this annual report, the Electronic Frontier Foundation examined
the policies of major Internet companies — including ISPs, email
providers, cloud storage providers, location-based services, blogging
platforms, and social networking sites — to assess whether they publicly
commit to standing with users when the government seeks access to user
data. The purpose of this report is to incentivize companies to be
transparent about how data flows to the government and encourage them to
take a stand for user privacy whenever it is possible to do so.
