- OJFord 7y agoWhy should you be able to? A court may grant an injunction preventing publication of certain facts or identifying you in proceedings, but that's specific, why should it be possible to opt out of ever appearing? And where would it end, because there's no reason for that not to be everyone's default position, but then if you run some business such that you need the exposure, you're going to want 'business-only' results. Or do you mean that news would be allowed, it just wouldn't appear in search results? How would I find an article I recalled and wanted to revisit?
