Topic 1: Amazon\u2019s bi-annual report on government requests for data . . .<\/p>\n
Over 30,000 requests for information from various governments around the world for the six months ending June 30th. This includes subpoenas, search warrants, and court orders (or their equivalent in various countries).<\/p>\n
This includes requests regarding Amazon Echos, Ring devices, etc. It does NOT include requests related to AWS, which only numbered 632!<\/p>\n
The number of devices with your personal information, photos, and data is growing every year. Remember, that robot dog serves more than one master.<\/p>\n
