    Not surprising that this has tripled in the last three years.

    Google handed over more user data to the US government in the first six months of this year than to all other countries combined.

    "Government demands for user data have increased steadily since we first launched the Transparency Report," says Google senior policy analyst Dorothy Chou.

    The US made 7,969 requests for user data, of which Google complied with 90 percent. Next most inquisitive was India, with 2,319 requests, Brazil with 1,566, France with 1,546, Germany with 1,533 and the UK with 1,425.
