Sorry if I've misunderstood but wouldn't the right to be forgotten also affect the person who filed it? Also, depending on the area of research of your friend, perhaps interst in his research has temporarily waned?
- ToBeRemembered 5y agoThe Right to be Forgotten can be (and I'd guess usually is) used selectively - you can ask Google to forget about the Twitter account you made when you were 13, while keeping everything else available. Even if interest has waned, it's unclear to me why that would result in his website vanishing and not, for example, his profile on his employer's website (which is still one of the top results). It certainly doesn't explain why this would coincide with warnings about data protection in Europe. It seems like there's no way of finding out if those warnings are actually related, never mind contesting a takedown.
