1. “I think the government is increasing one because they're catching up to technology. They're understanding that more and more people are using technology and that they need to keep up and understand what's being said. And that's part of what's going on around the world. You see countries actually increasing over time. So it's this constant pace of technology and the governments are catching up to it.”

2. “Actually, to kick off on the last point, I don't think there's anything unusual this year. I think what you're seeing is a steady increase in how the government is attempting to either shut down particular conversations or access information about users. So that's been a consistent theme. And what this year's report shows is that that's only increasing in scope. This really started for us as a company very early on. We had this philosophy or core belief about protecting and defending our users' voice, and that's what we're showing in the transparency report. And that started very early on with our founders, Jack and Ev, as well as our first general counsel, Alexander McGilvery, AMAC, as he's known. And they had this strong belief in fighting for these rights for our users, because that is what's powering the platform at the end of the day, is the ability to speak out.”

3. “That's what I figured. I'm not going to What we released is our biannual transparency report, and we started this process back in 2012. I believe this is our seventh transparency report. And the information we put in there is all about the requests that we get from governments to either access information about our users, who they are, or asking us to take content down off of the platform for various reasons. And we go into a lot of detail in that report because we think it's an important public service, not necessarily for every individual user, but in terms of the landscape of the internet and how governments are relating to what's going on.”
