#2I guess I should have expected a number this high, but I didn't. 750-999 national security requests in half a year? Not warrants, but national security requests. That just seems insane to me.

#3I'll take them more seriously when they stop voluntarily giving the NSA zero-day vulnerabilities months before they get fixed, essentially giving them "temporary backdoors" to their systems.

#5Apple says "Less than 0.00673% of customers have been affected by government information requests." That's approximately 1 out of every 14,000 -- seems like a lot to me!

When national security requests come with built-in gag orders, little-to-no oversight, and are probably easier to issue/get than warrants (no pesky judges or explaining to do) why would one ever use a warrant again?

#9It's a shame the options to disable sending your local spotlight queries to bing and apple are hidden away in a huge list of other apps. I wish they had one giant button for disabling all remote queries instead of 4-5 options spread throughout different settings sub-pages.

Low-level enforcers don't have easy access to such orders.
