Η Google has started charging the authorities with $45 for each summons, $60 for "bedbug" and $245 for each search warrant!
ΚOnce upon a time there was a debate about whether technology companies should give user data to government agencies when asked, however, it seems that not only has this taboo been overcome, but they are now making a profit from the whole story.
According to her report The New York TimesThe Google has started charging the authorities with $45 for each summons, $60 for "bedbug" and $245 for each search warrant!
Η Google receives a huge number of requests every year from the authorities to give access to user data and is the first company that decided to charge for its services. In 2019, the company received requests for more than 160.000 users or accounts and in 60-80% of cases she provided the requested information or part of it.
In case a request is very vague and requires access to much more data than the occasion, then we look for ways to limit it as much as possible.
The most common request is the summons and the search warrants follow. Users are informed, however, by Google via email before the "delivery" of their data to the authorities, except obviously in cases where the law prohibits prior notification.
