The right to be forgotten, a rule handed down last month by the EU, is supposed to allow individuals to get inadequate, irrelevant, or no longer relevant results removed from Google Search. Yesterday, The Guardians James Ball said Google notified him that six articles from the site were being purged from European versions of the search engine. Three of them relate to Dougie McDonald, a former Scottish soccer referee who resigned in 2010 after allegedly lying about a penalty kick. The BBC, meanwhile, was notified that an article entitled Merrills mess, about departed Merrill Lynch Stan ONeal, was being removed. Author Robert Peston originally reported that the page remained available under a search for Stan ONeal, suggesting that a commenter had asked for their note to be removed instead.
