Let's compare Google's stats with the rest of the industry .. Oh, wait! we can't! because no one else publishes a transparency report.
You can't knock Google for complying with the law and not devoting resources to fruitlessly fight every court order and removal request when the goal of their transparency effort is to highlight the problems with that law and try and change it. They're doing something unique and are trying to fix the larger problem yet some people still give them shit for it.

Really, everyone should be following Google's example and yet they get so much flak for trying to do the right thing in the comments of this post alone.
