Honestly, I'm surprised it's only 47 considering its user base and the fact that we're already in July.
47 sounds low for a month , given the US governments aggressive push to identify and punish anyone who voices an opinion not approved by Trump and his cabinet.
Maybe it's unusual for any sort of authorities to advance a digital investigation to such a point where the would be able to definitively identify an IP address and a VPN provider.
I suppose they don't receive many requests because it's already known that the answer will be no.
