Apple details which governments make the most data requests – Computerworld



Fun with numbers

Except, that isn’t quite true; while China made just 1,212 device requests, it specified 365,980 devices within those requests — and Apple complied with 96% of the requests.

In the UK, those 2,925 device requests specified 8,211 devices, and Apple complied 78% of the time. In the US, 42,747 devices were specified and 86% of those requests were met. 

Fun with numbers aside, it’s pretty clear that all three nations are united by their zeal to access this kind of information, more so than anyone else, except possibly Brazil. (Brazil, with a population of 211 million, made 8,776 device requests and specified 42,276 devices in those requests, to which Apple complied 78% of the time.)
