Google Boots 9 Links Per Second
Google took down a record-breaking 5.3 million allegedly infringing links from its search engine in the last week of September, according to The Guardian.
That equates to removing about nine links per second.
The seach engine’s new policy of transparency has seen a significant rise in the number of takedown notices filed by copyright holders to Google over the last year.
In February 2013, takedown notices hit 3.8 million per week, increasing to 4.47 million at the end of March, finally peaking at 5.3 million in the last week of September.
