Probably to avoid bad press, Google has launched a new domain, Google Transparency Report, which shows how much traffic goes to different Google sites by country in order to see where services are blocked. The government request feature lets you see by country how many requests Google got to remove or censor content. Interestingly, Kazakhstan’s government has made fewer than 10 requests from July 2009 to June 2010, all in the calendar year of 2010 and none were complied with:

Looking at Blogger traffic, it has clearly been declining. Whether that is due mainly to government blockages or the perception of government blockages is unclear of course. There’s quite the little drop in January of 2010.

Any theories on what that spike is on June 6, 2010?
