The nations should behave: The king of search engines aka Google, mapping disclose government requests sent to its offices. In short, the juggernaut of the Internet shows, on the map, the number of requests for access to confidential information and the volume of requests for the eradication of different content that is type-approved by each government, or almost.

A source really interesting

"We want to expand the transparency," said Peter Fleischer, a consultant of the king of search engines for personal information during the demonstration page "Government Requests" at the branch of the captiale. "There is a dual information disseminated to every nation: the number of requests for access to personal information of users and the volume of requests for the eradication of content," he said. To delight our users and tranquilizers, the king of search engines is operational to transmit a negative indication to authorities suddenly revealing their security methods, positive or negative. The authorities will be delighted to know, especially as the king of search engines remains in compliance with the law at any moment the investigation can not be questioned because only records are available. Approached by lepoint.fr Wednesday, Children's Day, the Department of the Interior has still not given the slightest sign of life. Requests for access to personal characteristics are transmitted by the government of a nation to know the identity of Internet users, or to conduct an investigation into his business.

Google knows everything and does not hide

Thanks to the logs kept on their computers, Google is aware of all the actions of a user during the last 3 quarters: its applications in engines, e-mails or as navigation pages, and also places his or authentication the parameterization of the pc. Such information is important in investigations of law enforcement, however, their distribution undergoes a rigorous regulatory in egalitarian nations. The complaints concern the eradication of content for their shares, tools google: videos on YouTube, in particular, and also sites on Blogger or Picasa images.

The elements are circulated by Internet users sometimes illegal and the government therefore make a formal request for their removal. For the juggernaut of the Internet, any request for the eradication of content by a nation is tantamount to a deprivation of liberty. "I use this term in a neutral way," said Peter Fleischer immediately, stressing again that the censorship "is not illegal inevitable": it is capable of handling regulations. Sometimes claims are unfounded and so Google does not accept them: the percentage of assentimment is, on the other hand, released by the research tool, however, solely with respect to applications for the eradication of content. Nothing is said about the percentage of requests for approval of personal information.
