The Electronic Frontier Foundation took a look at 18 different web companies to see which ones are serious about user privacy — and which ones are likely to hand your data over to the government at a moment’s notice.
Last month, Twitter was subpoenaed for information about a particular user being investigated for Occupy Wall Street protests. Twitter asked for the case to be thrown out, but not all internet companies would be so kind — in fact, many would hand over your information, often without even telling you. Check out the infographic below to see where your favourite companies lie on the issue — you might be surprised at what you find (you can click on the image for a closer look). For more information on how the chart was put together, check out the EFF’s full report by clicking the link below.
