Twitter Expands Biannual Transparency Report

Twitter is adding trademark notices and email privacy practices to its biannual transparency report, which covers government requests and copyright notices, the company said in a blog post Tuesday. Twitter said "foundational" sections of the report -- including law enforcement requests for account information, government requests for content removal, and copyright takedown notices and counter notices -- have been updated with request data covering Jan. 1, 2015, to June 30, 2015. Government requests for account information increased 52 percent since the last report, the company said.
