Hmm, where is this going? Very, very interesting development.
A top EU court has ruled Google must amend some search results at the request of ordinary people in a test of the so-called “right to be forgotten”.

I think it’s good. Why not have a customized internet experience. But materializing that request would be a big and complicated affair. What does your crystal ball see? A new service industry somewhere between Credit Report Repair, Information Bounty Hunting, and Domain Name Disputes?
This is not about a customized internet experience, this is about completely removing search results out of search engines upon a request of one individual person. Like people on BBC discussion said, it’s like removing signs off the shelves with the library books, but leaving the book there. I see alternative search engines developing, based likely in Russia :), that will provide a “complete search experience” and end of Google search domination.
UK Prime Minister, David Cameron says: “People should not be allowed to erase their history from internet.”
