Google refuses to take down videos of police brutality despite "multiple requests from law enforcement agencies," ArsTechnica reports. For the last two years, Google has released comprehensive reports twice a year on the frequency of takedown requests and government data requests received in countries around the world. The latest data, released on Tuesday, focuses on the first half of 2011.Unfortunately, with other requests they are not so defiant. Keep in mind, no one wants to rat on their customers, they are only complying with these requests because they fear what the government will do to them if they don't comply. The statistics show that the United States continues to lead the world in snooping on Google users. US law enforcement made 5,950 separate requests for user data from 11,057 user accounts. Google complied with the requests 93 percent of the time. This was an almost 40 percent increase in the number of requests compared to the same period a year earlier. On a per capita basis, France (1,300 requests) and the United Kingdom (1,273 requests) were on par with the United States. Other nations were far behind.View the full report here. |
