GitHub Transparency Report
GitHub’s reported government takedown requests, requests to disclose user information (including national-security letters), DMCA takedowns and circumvention claims, automated detection, appeals and reinstatements, and EU-DSA monthly active users. A tidy-long dataset: each row is one measured value, identified by dataset × year × period × government × category × metric. Exact counts have equal low/high bounds; national-security letters/orders and EU-DSA MAU are published as banded ranges (low ≠ high) — so summing the upper bound is an upper estimate.

User-information requests per year
Requests received vs. instances where information was disclosed under legal process (exact counts, reported since 2021; affected-account counts are a separate dataset).
Government takedown requests per year
Takedown requests GitHub received from governments.
Top governments by takedown requests
Governments ranked by takedown requests received across all years.
DMCA takedown notices per year
Copyright takedown notices GitHub processed under the DMCA (takedown notices only — counter notices and legal-action notices are excluded).
Dataset coverage by report area
Loading…
For each report area (dataset), how many reported values the dataset carries. Row counts, not summed quantities — the areas mix stocks (MAU levels), flows (requests) and banded ranges, which cannot be meaningfully added.
Most-reported categories
Loading…
The categories with the most reported values. Row counts, not summed quantities — categories span unrelated report areas whose measures are not additive.
