Google revealed in its latest transparency report that it received a staggering 76,899,797 requests to remove links to material that allegedly infringes copyrights. Those requests came from just 3,083 reporting organizations, Google said, and were spread across just under 70,000 domains.
As Torrent Freak correctly points out, there’s been a sharp rise in the number of takedown requests Google has fielded over the past several years. At the current rate, Google is fielding 19 million requests per week or well over 100,000 requests per hour.
