Reddit has uploaded its first "Transparency Report" showing all U.S. government requests from January to December 2014.

As expected, the government is more interested in Facebook and Twitter than Reddit, but the news and link aggregation service still received 55 requests for user information.

U.S. requests took a large slice of the pie, with only nine percent of requests coming from international agencies.

Reddit said 53 percent of all requests were obtained by U.S. subpoenas; 15 percent U.S. warrants; 13 percent U.S. emergency requests and 11 percent U.S. civil subpoena.

The 55 requests looked to unmask 78 user accounts, but Reddit fought back against two civil subpoena requests. Only 32 requests had information disclosed to the U.S. government, a rather small rate compared to Facebook and Google.

Reddit has also updated its statement on providing notice to users. It now reads:

"Many government requests we receive contain demands to withhold notice from users that carry no legal weight. We actively disregard these non-binding demands. Our goal is to give users the information they need to seek legal advice before their records are disclosed."

Reddit said 81 percent of requests had to do with copyright infringement; 15 percent were placed into the 'other' category and four percent were to do with trademark law.

Reddit claims to have stopped many copyright claims due to the claims not being included in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

Reddit is following in the footsteps of Facebook, Twitter and Google that have all released a Transparency Report to show government requests. Google has hundreds of thousands of claims to sift through, but Reddit seems to not be breaking a lot of laws.
