It's a report that spends most of its length telling you in some detail exactly what they can't legally tell you.

Considering how self-congratulatory HN readers are about this community's intelligence, you'd think more of them would be able to read between the lines.



A report telling me what it can't say is not precisely informative. Because I know that they can't tell me much about NSA.

Not to mention these two claims are contradictory:

"This report doesn't include national security requests."

"Unfortunately, the government allows services to disclose only the aggregate number of all law enforcement and national security requests received "

Does it include the NSA request, or not in the aggregate? First sentence says no, second implies yes.


Because I know that they can't tell me much about NSA.

You are not the world. You are not even most Dropbox users.
