By "legal request" I mean requests made through channels of the law. These things aren't "attacks" because they're functionally not attacks. 'Cooperation' is the antithetical to 'attack'.

For example, when China demanded that iCloud for Chinese users was handed over to GCBD[0], and Apple complied, it was not, in any way, something that would be accurately described as an "attack". Apple cooperated with the demands that the legal environment presented.
