Heat map: Take-down requests from Governments in Asia

Check what country complains the most to Google.

In its bid toward greater transparency, Google discloses the number of requests it received from copyright owners and governments to remove information from their services from January to June this year.

Blogger Adam Albright-Hanna put all the information into a heat map in his blog https://www.upworthy.com

Singapore made two requests for charges of defamation and copyright issues.

Hong Kong has one request coming from theHong Kong Customs and Excise Department to remove 370 YouTube videos for containing allegedly copyright infringing material. Google however did not remove content in response to this request because, it said, the notice was incomplete.

South Korea has the most number of requests at 33. Reasons largely pertain to privacy and security issues.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
