Google makes government takedown request data easier to understand
While Google has long been publishing transparency reports on government takedown requests, its most recent one for June to December 2013 gives us details the company hasn't shared in the past. In it, Mountain View doesn't only explain how it deals with these requests, it also lists some examples. Apparently, in order for the company to begin the process, it needs to receive written requests or court orders from governments -- Google also has to authenticate every document it receives, because it gets forged court orders every now and then.
