New Features Added to Google’s Data Transparency Report
From the Google Public Policy Blog:
The report hasn’t changed much since 2012 and was getting a little rusty.
So today, we’re releasing a new version of the report that makes it easier for you to understand the data:
- Examples of removal requests, similar to the annotations we added to government requests to remove content last year. These illustrate the range of things we’re asked to remove and the decisions we make in response.
- A new Explore the Data page, which lets you search the database of removal requests and see a more detailed list of reporting organizations, domains, and copyright owners.
- An explanation of how copyright notice and takedown is applied to Google Search, which we hope leads to a better overall understanding of the process.
The blog post continues with a list of several other features added during the past two months.
