Google said it experienced a 71% jump in UK government and court requests to remove content from its web search, YouTube and other services.

The figure relates to the period between January and June this year compared to the previous six months.

The search site said it received 65 requests for a total of 333 items to be removed over the period.

The US company said it fully or partially complied with 82% of the demands.

Google said six of the requests related to videos on its YouTube site that raised national security concerns. Twelve were court orders linked to defamation, privacy and other issues.

The data was released as part of the firm's latest Transparency Report, which it publishes twice a year.

 

Would any such requests originated from or by the IOM be included in the UK figures?

Or if any such case arose from here, would the IOM be classed as a country by google?

(Assuming of courses person or persons unknown in the IOM objected to something published about them online)
