While this is a valiant cause, I don't know what this buys Twitter in the long run. If they have the ability to disclose exact numbers, the only number that would really have any impact is 0. It would be interesting to know what, if any, this number would have on their business.



Twitter has said they don't get many of these requests compared to e.g. Google (not surprising, since most Twitter content is public). The difference between "0" and "0-999" in a six month period is significant. Even "2" or "3" seems very low compared to what the mind assumes "0-999" means (at least 500 and perhaps closer to 1000).
