Tech giant Google India took down nearly four lakh bad content pieces in May through an automated detection process. These complaints relate to third-party content that is believed to violate local laws or personal rights on Google's SSMI platforms.
The company said it received 25,694 complaints from individual users located in India via designated mechanisms during the one-month reporting period.
Over 24,000 of these complaints involved copyright infringement, followed by trademark infringement (433) and other legal problems (257). The tech giant removed 62,673 pieces of content that broke community guidelines in response to user complaints.
The company added, “The complaints received consist of various categories. Some requests may allege infringement of intellectual property rights, while others claim violation of local laws prohibiting types of content on grounds such as defamation.”
