Google scours 1.2 million URLs to conform with EU’s ‘right to be forgotten’
While still fighting it in the courts, Google has been complying with the EU’s ‘right to be forgotten‘ ruling. In a transparency report, the search giant stated that is has evaluated 1,234,092 URLs from 348,085 requests since May 29, 2014. Of those, 42 percent of the URLs have been removed from search results. When deciding which results stay and which get disappeared from results, it says, “Google must consider the rights of the individual as well as public interest in the content.” Unsurprising, the top site to have its search results scrubbed is Facebook.
