[quote:Heavenly Alchemy:MV8yNTg1OTA4XzQ1MDc3OTMzX0VBMDc4QzM2] [quote:Judethz:MV8yNTg1OTA4XzQ1MDc3Nzg5X0UzQjg5MUU5] [quote:Heavenly Alchemy:MV8yNTg1OTA4XzQ1MDc3NzE1XzNCQ0M2NjhC] ++ I hear what you are saying, but you wouldn't come up with that type of result unless you were looking for it. If a regular Joe has been slandered and it is proven the slanderous information should be removed, if the person wishes. By court order after proving something is not true. [/quote] :kitty: That's easier said than done for someone on minimum wage, not to mention that it's a never ending hassle. Don't forget that a lot of this stuff is on several sites. But I agree that news stories are a different category. [/quote] True, but in that instance anyone could have anything that was unflattering removed. Which isn't right, most of us have blind spots about facets of our personality, and everything is subjective. So unless it is that John had his hand in the cookie jar when John was never near the cookie jar and Jane along with Joe could back that up then, in my opinion only(not right or wrong), the information should be searchable. Thinking about it, if someone had a mugshot or had to go to court there would be a ruling and that could be used to remove the information from the website as well. [/quote]

The day Google opened its online submission process to comply with the European “right to be forgotten” ruling, the company received 12,000 requests – one every seven seconds – from users demanding that information be pulled from search results.
The cost of ignoring those requests, or getting them “wrong” in the eyes of the EU courts? Google could face fines of a billion dollars per incident. In the European Union, the process of whitewashing history is underway.
With the ruling, the court is forcing Google to perform the impossible balancing act between the newly invented “right” be forgotten and the Internet’s unique power to preserve, contextualize, and disseminate information.
