While the above news is mostly to the good - there are obvious downsides to this, as well. One example, a Serial scam artist could ask they have such information about themselves removed from all Search Engines. Another problem is that even IF Google [and/or other search engines] removed said information, it is stored elsewhere on the internet and most items can never really be removed [only made more difficult to access] once placed on the internet. This ruling, whatever forms it may take in legislation or further legal arguments, only applies in the EU - not in the USA or elsewhere....another no so little logical problem. I'm sure intelligence/propaganda agents will have a field day using this to delete information they don't want, while still placing information/propaganda they do want. It has the same problems as, say, Wikipedia in the fight for what is the 'truth' of an issue. However, it is about the first crack in the wall for the Search Engines - and that can't be all bad.
