Google sets up 'right to be forgotten' form
Google has launched a service to allow Europeans to ask for personal data to be removed from online search results.
According to: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-27631001
You can remove any search result by going to https://support.google.com/legal/contact/lr_eudpa?product=websearch

So how do they check that it's me who asks the info about me to be removed? Or can i request any info to be removed?
.
Interesting is that the included Liechtenstein and Switzerland, even though the ruling should not apply to them.
The removed results will be available under different non european ctld though, right?
I don't think this initiative is necessarily wrong, even levelled at Google, but to go after the search portion which is just an indexer feels wrong to me. I think you should have the right to delete your data from Google + or Facebook or G-Mail or even LowEndTalk to a degree (personal information or whatever, not public posts ofc) whatever... I don't know about indexers, though. Seems like a slippery slope. Hard to define the line, too.
Already used it, content was removed after some hours - Seems to work well.
