Google Creates 'Right to be Forgotten' Application
EU citizens can fill out a form to request that Google remove "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant" links.
In compliance with a recent European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling granting EU citizens the ‘right to be forgotten,” Google has created an official form for individual requests to remove particular links containing sensitive personal information from its search engine results.
The top EU court said individuals have the right to control their data and can ask search engines to remove results in EU countries where Google establishes a branch to promote and sell advertising. The move was in line with an earlier EU data-protection directive proposed in 2012.
