I'm kinda intrigued why there are `74` affected accounts (higher than any other country) for a single submission in India.
Probably something of the form "all persons that have stayed at $property during $time"?

Just discovered that the original warrant canary (2005) was purportedly created by a librarian, being a sign in her library reading: “The FBI has not been here (watch very closely for the removal of this sign).”[0]

#13In the report, they call the ratio of "Requests For Which At Least Some User Data Was Disclosed" to the "Total Requests" the "Compliance Rate". In this report it's 43.6% which implies that Airbnb is "out of compliance" with 56.4% of requests.
I wouldn't call that ratio the compliance rate because it a rejected request may be very justified from the standpoint of the business / customers privacy. "Disclosure ratio" seems like a more apt term.

I'm surprised the government hasn't just sent a banal request to everyone along the lines of, "you are required to disclose every known space alien who uses your service and you are prohibited from disclosing this order."
Every service then has to kill its canary.

#15Is there a formal requirement for an emergency request?

Probably because a warrant canary would never hold up in court and they just don't care.

There would be no legal basis for such a prohibition, as there's no plausible national security endangerment were the request to be revealed.

#18Why didn't they name it AirBnB? Would make more sense.

I like that they've done this. Are there examples of companies that have done this and users or the media noticed when they removed it?
