I thought the "right to be forgotten" is simply meant to prevent certain websites from appearing in search engine results. Isn't that precisely what robots.txt accomplishes? Does the right to be forgotten also compel website owners to censor their own content?
- OJFord 6y agoAccomplishes the same, but it's a different mechanism. RTBF does not use robots.txt (and then require that it be respected) on the site hosting the thing to be forgotten, it's an exclusion on the search engine side.
