Google to appeal against €7m fine from Swedish watchdog for failing to remove search results under GDPR

I've not read the judgement, it is in Swedish - but under GDPR you need a legal basis to pass on personal information that you have requested, like someones name to another organisation, unless you have consent. I'm fairly sure when someone submits a delisting request, they are not doing it so the publisher can circumvent the request by republishing it, and likely make the result a higher as opposed to lower ranking. EU countries thankfully have more of a balance between privacy and freedom of information, meaning that the little guy doesn't get screwed quite as often.
