According to Google, the number of items/content pieces removed or limited as a result of a certain complaint is represented by the ‘removal actions’ number.
According to the US tech giant’s recent compliance report, 76,967 material pieces were removed in conformity with Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code Rules. Approximately 99.3% of content pieces were for copyright infringement, 0.6 percent for trademark infringement, and the rest were for explicit sexual content, court orders, counterfeit, or defamation.
Google India stated that content is removed once it has been evaluated against Google’s community guidelines, content policies, and/or legal policies.
The corporation may take removal action as a result of this review. Based on its automated detection technologies, the search engine behemoth has also taken down 450,246 pieces of information.
