Google receives daily requests from several governments, ask Google to remove content from sites like Google or YouTube. Today Google released a tool with which one can view government requests for deletion of content.

Again back to yesterday: In 25 out of 100 countries, Google services (blocked partially / completely). Including Turkey, China and other countries. And all over the world, there are requests from the government, which Google calls for you to block or delete contents.

Google would also be open with its users and has therefore published a map that shows how strong are the questions. Amazing: Germany, with 188 removal requests far forward, but Brazil is the frontrunner.
