      Can someone please explain the math here? Shouldn’t those percentages be the same?

      None of the civil requests we processed this year came with a gag order, which means we notified each of the affected users.

      When you consider that only 4.1 percent of the requests we processed in 2019 were civil (as opposed to criminal), the fact that we were only able to notify users 2.5 percent of the time this year is not surprising.

        In civil cases a judge can still issue a gag order.

            Huh. Yes, that math seems obviously wrong then.
