Once again, GitHub publishes its annual transparency report. However, interestingly, they note that the practice is becoming sparser as other companies are retiring their transparency reports. That’s unfortunate, but as the Atlantic news article says, when the interest of the “general public” in privacy matters wanes as the news of the Snowden leaks fades, it’s pretty hard to encourage business executives to keep at the public publications of transparency reports.

One thing I must say about the GitHub transparency report itself, though, is that even that appears to be less detailed.
