Google, in a recent blog post, announced that it is now processing more than 2.5 million removal requests per week, an increase from just one tenth of that six months ago. Despite the increase, Google now processes the requests more quickly than ever, usually within six hours.
According to the announcement’s author, Google Legal Direct Fred Von Lohmann, the spike began after Google introduced its new automated copyright infringement reporting system. That system also made it possible to provide Google’s transparency report, which provides data on the takedowns and the domains the effect.
In related news, Google also anounced that it is making the data from its transparency report downloadable in CSV format. The downloads will be updated daily.
