Re: Wrong Target?
"If people want to remove embarassing information they have to get the website to remove it. I know that this is impossible but frankly getting Google to censor information makes me feel uneasy."
True, and it maintains the possibility of someone else keeping track of the link-that-shall-not-be-named.
There are two recent cases that come to mind of "right to be forgotten" laws that were enacted and reported in one of our fairfax papers. They pretty much outlined the entire incedent, what happend, why they want it scrubbed and how to find this information. The Streisand effect came to mind first, then the fact the paper itself is searchable and outside the control of the Google laws. Mainly because the paper's search function is a core feature for paid users - if you can't search for stories, then why the hell are you paying for it?
