Takedown requests from governments increasing aimed at Google
http://j.mp/NGk2fI (The Next Web)
"Google has released new data for its Transparency Report, which
provides details of government requests to takedown content across the
company's websites and services. The report - dated July-December
2011 - now includes details of government requests to take down blog
posts, videos and other information on Google services during the
period. It also includes all state-led requests to share other
information, including user IP addresses. Google calls the latest
findings "troubling" and it notes that requests to remove political
content are a trend that it is continuing to see, rather than the
brief blip that it had optimistically hoped they were."
