I wish every one of these requests was available to be seen, neatly organized by countries etc. Nothing like public shame to bring back to reason power-abusing government agents.

Google does actually, here: http://www.chillingeffects.org/search.cgi

You'll have to search under court orders to get those.

Requests are going up, and compliance is going down.

Now it would be interesting to see the request to compliance ratio as a function of time.... would be kinda cool if it stayed constant.
