Google constantly hands over data at the request of governments. In the first six months of this year, Google has given the United States government the most user data. The US government made more than 7,000 requests for user data, compared to the less than 3,000 requests made by countries like India, France, and Germany. Governments have the right to request this data due to Google’s Transparency Report. However, most of these requests relate to copyright infringement issues by both private companies and governments.
