Google veröffentlicht Regierungsanfragen

Google hat in seinem Transparency Report Anfragen von Regierungsstellen veröffentlicht. Hier die Daten über die Anfragen aus Deutschland. Oftmals geht es um Urheberrechtsverletzungen und besonders im deutschen Fall um Nazi-Seiten und jugendgefährdende Inhalte.

Canada
We received a request from the Passport Canada office to remove a YouTube video of a Canadian citizen urinating on his passport and flushing it down the toilet. We did not comply with this request.
Germany
A court order resulted in the removal of 898 search results that linked to forums and blogs containing statements about a government agency and one of its employees that the court determined were not credible. We received a request to remove 70 YouTube videos for allegedly violating the German Children and Young Persons Act. We restricted some of the videos from view in Germany in accordance with local laws.
Pakistan
We received a request from the Government of Pakistan's Ministry of Information Technology to remove six YouTube videos that satirized the Pakistan Army and senior politicians. We did not comply with this request.
United KingdomWe received a request from the UK's Association of Police Officers to remove five user accounts that allegedly promoted terrorism. We terminated these accounts because they violated YouTube's Community Guidelines, and as a result approximately 640 videos were removed.
Italy
We received a request from the Central Police in Italy to remove a YouTube video that satirized Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s lifestyle. We did not comply with this request.
