Brazil and Germany Leading in Google Data Removal Requests

Brazil’s Government issued 291 data removal requests to Google in 2009, followed by Germany (188), India (142), and the United States (123). Regarding Web Search censorship, Germany is leading with 94 requests, followed by Argentina (31), the United States (20) and Brazil (9). However, the “enemies of the Internet” don’t show up in this “hall of shame,” because they have their own censorship infrastructure and don’t need cooperation from Google.
