More transparency into government requests
- krakensden 14y agoThis is a good thing. From the government removals section in the US: > We received a request from a local law enforcement agency to remove a blog because of a post that allegedly defamed a law enforcement official in a personal capacity. We did not comply with this request, which we have categorized in this Report as a defamation request. We received a request from a local law enforcement agency to remove 1,400 YouTube videos for alleged harassment. We did not comply with this request. Separately, we received a request from a different local law enforcement agency to remove five user accounts that allegedly contained threatening and/or harassing content. We terminated four of the accounts, which resulted in the removal of approximately 300 videos, but did not remove the remaining account with 54 videos. > We received a court order to remove 218 search results that linked to allegedly defamatory websites. We removed 25% of the results cited in the request. > The number of content removal requests we received increased by 103% compared to the previous reporting period.
