US cops tried to erase online evidence of brutality

Google has been asked by a US law enforcement agency to remove several videos exposing police brutality from the video sharing service YouTube, the company has revealed in its latest update to an online transparency report. Another request filed by a different agency required Google to remove videos allegedly defaming law enforcement officials. The two requests were among 92 submissions for content removal by various authorities in the US filed between January and June 2011. Both were rejected by Google along with 27 per cent of the submissions. The IT giant says the overall number of requests for content removal it receives from governmental agencies has risen, and so has the number of requests to disclose the private data of Google users.

@11JEchappers11 Do you even know who are those rebels in Lybia that the west armed and gave power to? Do you know the first thing they did once Gaddafi was murdered has been to rise Al Qaida flag (research!!) Do you know Ghaddafi never ever airshot or mass killed its own people, do you know Lybian people had best living conditions in all african countries, Lybia had 140 tons gold reserve and zero debts? do you know the new puppets in charge of Lybia now want Sharia law? .......
