Google now receives just over 1,500 requests every minute to remove URLs from its search results. That's 25 requests a second or around 2,160,000 a day — double the amount of requests the company was receiving over the same time period in 2014.

Oct 2015 takedown requests came from 5,492 copyright owners and pertained to 72,207 specific domains, meaning that each domain, on average, was the subject of around 900 takedown requests. However, this stat doesn't paint a totally accurate picture, as the top five domains (including Spanish-language MP3 download site flowxd.me and Polish file locker chomikuj.pl) were the target of more than half a million reports each.
