Reddit has said the number of government requests for user data has more than doubled in 2018 than on the previous year.
The news and content sharing site said in its latest transparency report, posted Wednesday, it received a 752 requests from governments during the year, up from 310 requests a year earlier.

Broken down, that’s 171 requests to preserve account data — up from 79 requests in 2017; and 581 requests to produce user data — up from 231 requests.
Reddit said it complied with 77 percent of requests to turn over user data, and 91 percent of preservation requests. However, the company says it “only processes preservation requests” that originate in the U.S.

Noticeably absent from the transparency report are any figures relating to national security. There hasn’t been an update since 2016.
