We report regions rather than countries where a single request could identify the person it concerned.

What we disclosed

No user data. We do not have messages, contact lists, account details, phone numbers or logs of who connected to which relay, so there was nothing to disclose.

In 1 case we confirmed information that is already public: that a relay is listed in the directory, and which organization runs it.
