What are the average number of unmasking requests yearly?
quote:
The National Security Agency (NSA) in 2016 agreed to almost 2,000 requests from officials within the government to reveal the identities of U.S. persons caught up in foreign surveillance, according to an annual transparency report released on Tuesday.
In 1,934 instances, the NSA complied with requests from authorized officials to “unmask” names that had been originally blacked out to protect privacy. The report did not reveal the number of requests that were denied.
That figure is a dramatic increase from 2015, when only 654 were granted. The data was not provided in either the 2015 or 2014 publication — the first year the report was made public.
This is from The Hill.
