Transparency Report has been released by Google at the end of the last week. The report reflects how many requests for data governments across the globe have made.

Between January and June this year, the US government made 4,287 requests for data on the search engine's users. Same time, the UK government made 1,343 requests.

Transparency Report also shows how many times content was removed from Google at the government request. During the first six month of this year, 48 pieces of content were removed from Google's services and website following requests from UK authorities.

The report also includes traffic graphs that illustrate any outages in traffic to Google's services across the globe, whether its government's blocking access to these services, or simply net connection issues.

The report supposes to let web users to see where governments are demanding the removal of content and where Google services are being blocked.

According to the official data, the number of requests has risen since last year. In 2009, between July 1 and December 31, Google received 1,116 requests for user data from UK authorities and 3,580 from US agencies. Overall, Google and the Google-owned YouTube received more than 10,000 requests for user data from government agencies in the six months ending December 31, 2009.
