CloudFlare Transparency Report on National Security Orders

On January 27, 2014, the Department of Justice and the Director of National Intelligence announced a change in rules allowing companies to disclose the number of National Security Orders received, including National Security Letters (NSLs), in bands of 250. CloudFlare has published its initial Transparency Report on National Security Orders, revealing that it has received between 0-249 NSLs and FISA orders. The company believes the rule change is a step in the right direction but argues that NSLs violate due process principles and will challenge any NSLs they receive in court.
