“We believe that this kind of transparency can be a deterrent to censorship,” David Drummond, Google’s chief legal officer, said.

“When Google’s services are blocked or filtered, we can’t serve our users effectively,” Drummond said in a blog post. “That’s why we act every day to maximize free expression and access to information.”

He said the new tool, called “Transparency Report,” will “allow people to see where governments are demanding that we remove content and where Google services are being blocked.”

Drummond said it will show whether traffic disruptions “are related to mechanical outages or are government-induced.”
