In 2014, the European Union’s Court of Justice determined that individuals have a right to be forgotten, “the right—under certain conditions—to ask search engines to remove links with personal information about them.” It is not absolute, but meant to be balanced against other fundamental rights, like freedom of expression. In a half year following the Court’s decision, Google received over 180,000 removal requests. Of those reviewed and processed, 40.5% were granted.
Can you guess which Google approved and which it rejected? Balancing "the rights of the individual as well as public interest in the content," try your hand at implementing the "right to be forgotten" with these real-life examples from Google's transparency report.
