Google receives a staggering 2 million daily privacy requestsNovember 24, 2015 - 10:24 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Google has come clean about the number of privacy takedown requests it's currently receiving from copyright holders around the world, Digital Spy reports. The web giant's latest Transparency Report confirms that it is being served with a staggering 2 million of these requests each day. That figure - which equates to 25 requests a second or around 2,160,000 a day - has doubled over the last year as the war on piracy rages on, as TorrentFreak points out. These stats include multiple takedown requests for the same website, so last month's came from 5,492 rights holders about 72,207 domains. Google addressed the online piracy issue last year when it changed its search algorithm to downgrade illegitimate sites, but the figures suggest this has done nothing to deter copyright holders from turning to removal requests.†g Industry groups including the MPAA and RIAA have pressured Google to blacklist the worst offending websites, but the search engine firm believes that blanket censorship is a step too far.
