Interesting map of countries that have either asked Google for information on users or have asked Google to remove content:
http://www.google.com/governmentrequests/For the six months from Jul 1 2009 to Dec 31 2009, India ranks 3 on removal requests (142) and 4 on data requests. Our bedfellows (above us on the charts): Brazil, US, UK and Germany.
Are these indicators of governments being proactive, snoopy, paranoid? Efficient? More info needed.
