First it was Google, then twitter and now it is Microsoft that received 75000 requests from law enforcement agencies of different companies in the last year. Microsoft itself is publishing the report of requests received concerning privacy of people the first time on its website.

Introduction There was a time when the call center was seen as a place where phones rang endlessly and agents simply answered questions. That picture has changed dramatically.
