全球信息監控最嚴的10個國家和地區

????對于美國國家安全局（the National Security Agency）在美國國內開展間諜活動，谷歌（Google）或許是抱怨得最厲害、言辭也最激烈的一家公司，但向公眾披露相關信息最多的卻是蘋果公司（Apple）。它發布的兩份數據表信息量極大，而且內容相當豐富。 ????其中一份數據表給出了全球各地警方要求蘋果提供設備信息的次數（通常是為了找到丟失或被盜的iPhone）。而另一份數據表則顯示了警方要求蘋果提供用戶的帳戶信息，比如姓名、地址等信息的次數。而警方的后一種做法頗受爭議。 ????正如蘋果上周二在報告中解釋的那樣，美國政府嚴格限制企業透露美國警方要求企業提供用戶帳戶信息這一做法的相關情況。 ????“美國政府已允許我們向公眾披露與警方上述做法相關的部分信息，前提是我們將涉及國家安全的案例與根據帳戶的執法案例合并到一起，而且不能披露具體的數字，而以間隔為1000的區間來表示。” ????本文所附的圖表顯示了就人均而言，要求蘋果提供相關信息次數最多的10個國家或地區的警方。對于美國政府的數據區間，我們以其中間值來代替（也就是說，用2,500來代替2000-3000）。 ????那些進入第一個十強榜單的國家，要么是盜竊最頻發的國家，要么是警方最警惕的國家。新加坡位居這個榜單的榜首。 ????而第二個十強榜單披露了全球對數據監視最嚴的10個國家和地區，以美國為首。 ????以下是蘋果公司發布的原始電子數據表。 |
????Google (GOOG), may be complaining the loudest (and in the foulest language) about the National Security Agency's domestic spying activities, but it's Apple (AAPL) that provided the most data -- in the form of two large and surprisingly revealing spreadsheets (see below). ????One shows the number of device information requests made to Apple by police around the world (typically to recover lost or stolen iPhones). The other shows the more controversial requests for account information -- names, addresses etc. ????As Apple explained in thereport it issued Tuesday, the U.S. severely restricted what could be revealed about its account requests: ????"The U.S. government has given us permission to share only a limited amount of information about these orders, with the requirement that we combine national security orders with account-based law enforcement requests and report only a consolidated range in increments of 1000." ????For the attached charts, which show orders per capita for the 10 countries that issued the most requests, we used the mid-points of the U.S. government's ranges (i.e., 2,000-3,000 became 2,500). ????The countries in top chart could be thought of as the 10 nations with either the most petty thievery or the most vigilant police forces -- with Singapore on top. ????The bottom chart shows the 10 most aggressive data snoops, led by the U.S. ????Below: Apple's spreadsheets. |
