Google's privacy policy states, "...or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes."[1] Of course the key phrase is "legitimate business purposes" but Google wouldn't have included the "right to be forgotten" phrasing into their privacy policy if they weren't willing to make a good faith effort to remove information upon request. Otherwise it just puts them at risk of a lawsuit. http://www.google.com/privacy/privacy-policy.html http://www.google.com/privacy/privacy-policy.html
