New York, February 8 (RHC)-- Major Internet firms in the United States have begun releasing data about the amount of user information they secretly handed over to the U.S. government.
A legal deal reached last week allows the companies to disclose broad details about the number of orders they received from the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
Yahoo, for example, reports that it received Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Agency, FISA, requests for user content affecting at least 30,000 accounts during the first six months of last year alone.
