Korea Transparency Reports
The half-yearly transparency reports Naver and Kakao publish under South Korea's network laws — the Telecommunications Business Act and the Protection of Communications Secrets Act — covering government requests for user data: communications user information, communications confirmation data (metadata), communication-restricting measures (interception) and seizure warrants. A tidy-long dataset: each row is one measured value identified by platform × service × half-year × request type × metric. Units mix counts, percentages and averages — never sum non-count units; this page pins a single metric for each view.

What the reports cover
The number of reported values from each platform. Kakao reports its Daum and Kakao services separately, so it carries more rows. Counts of rows, not summed quantities.
