More than 70,000 people demanded 'forgotten right' from Google
On July 4, Google announced that there were more than 70,000 people asking the company to remove links on the internet about their "forgotten right" in Europe.
Google has been criticized from many sides for the "right to forget" case.
Last month, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ordered Google to consider when someone proposed to remove search results on Google pages that could affect their reputation or life. If you find that the search information is 'out of date' or ' incorrect ', Google must remove these links.
Google has previously lobbied for the ECJ not to make this decision but failed. Google then submitted a form asking for ' forgotten rights ' online. According to AFP, Google recently said more than 70,000 people have asked Google to enforce their " forgotten right " today.
However, Google's abolition of many links has been met with fierce opposition from international media.BBC economic editor Robert Peston criticized Google for deleting the link to his article about former Merrill Lynch bank chairman Stan O'Neal .
The Guardian newspaper protested that the six links to the article's articles had been deleted from the Google search site, three of which were related to a retired Scottish Premier referee scandal. The Guardian said that Google had no reason to remove the link to these articles.
Mail Online also complained that the link of the articles and the Scottish arbitration was removed. ' These examples show that the right to forget is absurd. That is similar to going to the library and burning the books you don't like '- Online Mail representative Martin Clarke is pressing.
Google said it is seriously considering each " forgotten " proposal. ' We have only acted according to the ECJ's ruling. This is a new process for us. We will listen to feedback '- AFP quoted a Google representative.
