Twitter is pushing to be able to disclose more government data requests

After providing a clearer picture of the diversity of its workforce last week,Twitter followed up with a regularly scheduled transparency report on Thursday. However, the social network launched the fifth edition of the report lamenting that it hasn’t been able to get anywhere in pushing its agenda for further transparency with government agencies. Jeremy Kessel, senior manager of global legal policy at Twitter, explained further in a blog post how Twitter wants to provide more specificity about different kinds of national security requests, among other metrics.
