Google has begun removing some search results to comply with a European Union ruling upholding citizens right to have objectionable personal information about them hidden in search engines. The so-called right to be forgotten was upheld by Europes top court on May 13 when it ordered Google to remove a link to a 15-year-old newspaper article about a Spanish mans bankruptcy. This week were starting to take action on removals requests that weve received, a Google spokesman said on Thursday. Each request has to be assessed individually and were working as quickly as possible to get through the queue. Google received over 41,000 requests over four days after it put up an online form allowing Europeans to request that search results be removed.
