This shows up again that the "right to be forgotten" is again primarily being used by the rich and powerful to whitewash previous crimes. One example which occurs multiple times in the BBC article is the disgraced but wealthy former UK cabinet minister Chris Huhne, who was released early from luxury prison and parachuted into a cushy job in the industry he was supposed to be regulating as a minister. He and his partner have repeatedly tried to use the courts to silence media coverage of them, and the courts have ruled against them every time. So now they've gone to Google instead for a cover up with less oversight.
