Google has updated its Transparency Report for the Jun. 2013 to Dec. 2013 period, and has also simplified the user interface for the website, offering more information on data removal requests from governments.
Since the report was first published back in 2009, requests for user data have risen 150 per cent globally, and 250 per cent in the US.
Google is rejecting the majority of requests it receives under the EU’s controversial “right to be forgotten” ruling.
