how is that creating such a list not serve the opposite purpose of the law ??

  The idea is generally to keep things from showing up when you search for people by name, not to remove the information entirely.

    So the law is only for google ? That make 0 sense

      Someone could make a Right to be Forgotten request to the BBC for the news article, but they'd need to meet a higher standard. The listing is of ones where people have asked to have the result removed from Google.
