Props to Spain. The examples from the article are interesting: "In one case a domestic violence victim discovered that her address could be found through Google, whilst one middle aged woman was able to find information about her arrest as a student through the search engine [...]." I have a hard time understanding why G wasn't willing to remove a DV victim's address -- forcing the government to act to remove her information from their search engine is pretty appalling. Of course, Google's position is you should just change your name [1], which is evil. I'm not sure how we're going to evolve as a society in this brave new world where every bit of everything people do hits the net forever in easily searchable and discoverable formats, but it seems like people deserve a bit of forgetting and shouldn't have potentially stupid stuff they've done as a teen follow them all the way to middle age. I personally had to call a friend at 3 in the morning who decided to post an old picture of me w/ a bong and tag it with my name (!!!). I don't care if people know that I occasionally smoke pot, but I don't need it to be one of the top search results for my name.
