Today, for the eighth time, we’re releasing new numbers showing <a href="//www.google.com/transparencyreport/removals/government/">requests from governments to remove content</a> from our services. From January to June 2013, we received 3,846 government requests to remove 24,737 pieces of content—a 68 percent increase over the second half of 2012.<br /> <br /> Over the past four years, one worrying trend has remained consistent: governments continue to ask us to remove political content. Judges have asked us to remove information that’s critical of them, police departments want us to take down videos or blogs that shine a light on their conduct, and local institutions like town councils don’t want people to be able to find information about their decision-making processes. These officials often cite defamation, privacy and even copyright laws in attempts to remove political speech from our services. In this particular reporting period, we received 93 requests to take down government criticism and removed content in response to less than one third of them.

We received 1,673 requests from Turkish authorities to remove content from our platforms, nearly a tenfold increase over the second half of last year. About two-thirds of the total requests—1,126 to be exact—called for the removal of 1,345 pieces of content related to alleged violations of <a href="http://www.wipo.int/wipolex/en/text.jsp?file_id=244466">law 5651</a>.</li> <li>Another place where we saw an increase was <a href="//www.google.com/transparencyreport/removals/government/RU/">Russia</a>, where there has been an uptick in requests since a <a href="http://www.rg.ru/2012/10/29/reestr-dok.html">blacklist law</a> took effect last fall.

We want to find out more about our heroes, explore far-away destinations, or settle a dinner table dispute between friends. And sometimes we just search to find out how many calories are in an avocado. <br /> <br /> In our annual <a href="//www.google.com/zeitgeist">Year-End Zeitgeist</a> (“spirit of the times”), we reflect on the people, places, and moments that captured the world’s attention throughout the year. This year marks our most global Zeitgeist to date—with 1,000+ top 10 lists across categories like Trending People, Most-Searched Events and Top Trending Searches from 72 countries. <br /> <br /> As we get ready to turn the page to 2014, we invite you to take a global journey through the biggest moments from the past 12 months in our <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv-sY_z8MNs">Year in Review video</a>: <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Lv-sY_z8MNs" width="640"></iframe><br /> It’s perhaps unsurprising that the #1 trending search of 2013 was an international symbol of strength and peace: <a href="//www.google.com/trends/topcharts#vm=trendingchart&cid=zgWW1&geo=&date=2013&cat=">Nelson Mandela</a>. Global search interest in the former President of South Africa was already high this year, and after his passing, people from around the world turned to Google to learn more about Madiba and his legacy.<br /> <br /> Tragedies like the <a href="//www.google.com/trends/topcharts#vm=trendingchart&cid=zgWW1&geo=&date=2013&cat=">Boston Marathon</a>, the 6th trending term globally, and <a href="//www.google.com/trends/topcharts#vm=trendingchart&cid=zgWW3&geo=&date=2013&cat=">Typhoon Haiyan</a>, #2 on our global events list, also captured the world’s attention. And our human desire to help came through, with [<a href="//google.com/trends/topcharts#vm=trendingchart&cid=zg2650&geo=US&date=2013&cat=">donate to the Philippines</a>] ranking highly around the world.<br /> <br /> 2013 also had moments that made us move. People uploaded more than 1.7 million video versions of the Harlem Shake to YouTube, propelling it to the <a href="//www.google.com/trends/topcharts#vm=trendingchart&cid=zgWW1&geo=&date=2013&cat=">#5 spot</a> on our global list; it was also the <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2013/12/youtube-rewind-what-you-watched-in-2013.html">second most trending video on YouTube</a>.

We want to find out more about our heroes, explore far-away destinations, or settle a dinner table dispute between friends. And sometimes we just search to find out how many calories are in an avocado. <br /> <br /> In our annual <a href="//www.google.com/zeitgeist">Year-End Zeitgeist</a> (“spirit of the times”), we reflect on the people, places, and moments that captured the world’s attention throughout the year. This year marks our most global Zeitgeist to date—with 1,000+ top 10 lists across categories like Trending People, Most-Searched Events and Top Trending Searches from 72 countries. <br /> <br /> As we get ready to turn the page to 2014, we invite you to take a global journey through the biggest moments from the past 12 months in our <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv-sY_z8MNs">Year in Review video</a>: <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Lv-sY_z8MNs" width="640"></iframe><br /> It’s perhaps unsurprising that the #1 trending search of 2013 was an international symbol of strength and peace: <a href="//www.google.com/trends/topcharts#vm=trendingchart&cid=zgWW1&geo=&date=2013&cat=">Nelson Mandela</a>. Global search interest in the former President of South Africa was already high this year, and after his passing, people from around the world turned to Google to learn more about Madiba and his legacy.<br /> <br /> Tragedies like the <a href="//www.google.com/trends/topcharts#vm=trendingchart&cid=zgWW1&geo=&date=2013&cat=">Boston Marathon</a>, the 6th trending term globally, and <a href="//www.google.com/trends/topcharts#vm=trendingchart&cid=zgWW3&geo=&date=2013&cat=">Typhoon Haiyan</a>, #2 on our global events list, also captured the world’s attention.

Work offline with Chrome </b><br /> You shouldn’t have to think about whether you have a WiFi connection when you want to work. So just like Google Docs and Slides, you can now make edits to Sheets offline. When you reconnect to the Internet, your edits will automatically sync. If you've edited Docs or Slides offline in the past, then you’re already set up to edit Sheets offline. If not, follow these <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2375012">one-time instructions</a> for setting up offline in Chrome.<br /> <br /> <b>Ready to try it out? </b><br /> Turn on the new Sheets by checking the “Try the new Google Sheets” box in <a href="//g.co/newsheets">Google Drive settings</a>. From then on, all new spreadsheets you create will work offline and include these new features. We’ll be adding a small list of <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/3543688">missing features</a> in the coming months, so if you rely on any of them, you may want to wait a little longer before opting in.<br /> <br /> We hope you enjoy these and the many other updates that come along with the new Google Sheets, including <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/180897">colored sheet tabs</a>, <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/56470">custom number formatting</a>, <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/117105">paste transpose</a> and more.

So just like Google Docs and Slides, you can now make edits to Sheets offline. When you reconnect to the Internet, your edits will automatically sync. If you've edited Docs or Slides offline in the past, then you’re already set up to edit Sheets offline. If not, follow these <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2375012">one-time instructions</a> for setting up offline in Chrome.<br /> <br /> <b>Ready to try it out? </b><br /> Turn on the new Sheets by checking the “Try the new Google Sheets” box in <a href="//g.co/newsheets">Google Drive settings</a>. From then on, all new spreadsheets you create will work offline and include these new features. We’ll be adding a small list of <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/3543688">missing features</a> in the coming months, so if you rely on any of them, you may want to wait a little longer before opting in.<br /> <br /> We hope you enjoy these and the many other updates that come along with the new Google Sheets, including <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/180897">colored sheet tabs</a>, <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/56470">custom number formatting</a>, <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/117105">paste transpose</a> and more.
