???? Google announced that starting this week, its search rankings will use a new algorithm, which will use deletion requests or infringement reports received against a certain website as one of the ranking reference data. The ranking of reported infringing websites will be lowered.
Google said the move was to provide users with higher-quality and legitimate search results. However, because whether the content of the website is infringing, only the content copyright owner knows. Therefore, after Google receives the report, it will not delete the website from the search results, but will only lower its ranking.
Google adopted a website infringement reporting system as early as 2009 and obtained a large amount of relevant data. In the past month, Google received 4.3 million reports, more than in all of 2009.
