The Chilling Effects database has ~40,000 cease and desist notices, most of them sent to Google for takedowns from its search and Blogger. How can you use this data?

Research questions and projects

(add your questions, flesh these out as potential projects for Masters, Law, or Doctoral students)

  • How many notices list specific URLs? (countering the claim that "it's too much burden")
  • How many notices fit / don't fit the 512(c)(3) requirements?
  • What patterns do we see from repeat senders? is takedown working for them/
  • What errors are common? How do those affect online expression?

Research audiences

Who might need research? Policy debates, public interest litigants, amicus filers.
