Is it not obvious that you're going to get general-purpose search engines which explicitly do not operate in Europe that exist for the sole purpose of finding information that's been erased from Google under the 'Right to be Forgotten'? In particular, search engines which prioritize/highlight information which has been erased making it easier to find things people wanted to keep hidden? For background checks, I expect a whole cottage industry will spring up of extra-European companies which provide European employers with background information that's hidden on the continent. It's not so much the ideal that the EC holds (that people have a right to be judged on their present rather than on an unaudited collection of searchable details from the past -- an ideal I can agree with), but that there seem to be a surprisingly large number of people who think the strategy they've adopted will actually be effective. It seems blindingly obvious to me (and I expect many other people who have been responding to you) that the inevitable outcome is going to be far far more effective at calling out things people would rather have forgotten than things as they stood before the ruling. To me it seems as if a startlingly large group of people has said, effectively, "this ideal is so important that we must take drastic action that guarantees we can never achieve it".
