Yahoo’s FISA Content Requests Went up 30% in Second Half of Last Year
Yahoo just released their transparency report for the first half of this year, which means they can report on the National Security requests from the last half of last year.
And that data shows a pretty alarming spike in FISA Content Requests.
The first half of the year showed their FISA content requests affected <40,000 accounts.
The second half of the year showed their FISA content requests affected <51,000 accounts.
That’s a 30% increase in accounts affected in just 6 months.
It’s possible, of course, what we’re seeing is a new kind of service being accessed by the government, which might by itself justify such a spike. Or it may be that the government is doing that much more spying.

Yeah, that might also be why James Comey is throwing such a fit about folks that like and make efforts toward guarding their privacy. Apparently if you think the Constitution is a good thing you are ‘putting yourself above the law’,

Any yahoo who commits a crime, or is planning one, and then uses a cell phone deserves to be caught. And if he then dies he deserves the Darwin Award.
