-{ Quote: "In the wake of Google's censorship battles with China and other nations, the search giant has launched a new tool to reveal which governments are blocking its services or requesting information on its users.
The company's new Transparency Report (http://www.google.com/transparencyreport/) breaks down the information into two sections.
The Government Requests (http://www.google.com/transparencyreport/governmentrequests/) page offers an interactive map where you can see the number of requests by each government asking Google to remove certain content from its search page, Gmail, YouTube, and other services. Google even reveals how many of those requests it's actually complied with. This page also details the number of requests for information on specific user accounts that company has gotten from each country.
... The second section for Traffic (http://www.google.com/transparencyreport/traffic/) displays the amount of traffic that different Google services get each day. Through an interactive chart, you can also see which services have gone down temporarily or have been permanently blocked by specific countries." }-
