EU court backs 'right to be forgotten' in Google case

[Deus Naturae]

None of our Euros have an opinion on this?  Perhaps you're appropriately embarrassed?

Embarrassment would be a peculiar reaction.

Really? You aren't embarrassed about the fact that your government has made it illegal for search engines to display certain forms of information?

I don't trust Google with my personal online data any more than I trust the government with it.

Google doesn't own any personal data (well, it may keep track of your search history, but that has nothing to do with this case). It just displays links to websites. I doubt you'd support this decision if the EU court had ruled that the Socialist Worker was full of "outdated" information and couldn't be linked to by Google.

I'm really not seeing what allowing the government to ban people from viewing information that they have determined is "outdated" has to do with privacy rights...
