So basically, if you cannot find what you are looking for, use a few proxies to try the same on non-EU countries versions of the same search engine?

- the_mitsuhiko 7y agoThe goal of the law is not to make information impossible to find. That's why this targets search engines primarily. The goal is that it becomes harder to resurface irrelevant information from someone's past.
- liveoneggs 7y agowho decides what is irrelevant?

- jaclaz 7y agoThe issue of course is not about the Law, and not even with the actual right to be forgotten (right or wrong is another question), it is IMHO more about the fact that this (or that) search engine will have different results depending on from where you make the same search. Now these differences may well be only for the searches related to someone who invoked his/her right to be forgotten, but the moment the results of a same search from different places can be different, it opens all possible avenues to remove (or add) other kind of information selectively.
- the_mitsuhiko 7y agoEven without that law search engines already return different results in different countries.
- BurningFrog 7y agoIt equally becomes harder to resurface relevant information. Assuming laws and regulations will only be used for good by well intentioned people is a serious mistake. A healthy amount of cynicism is an important life skill!
