"forcing Google to remove it from their index is at best a middling measure "
I think you underestimate the power of search engines - simply having Bing/Google remove a reference to something, will eliminate it from view for 99%+ of the population. It's a lot more than a middling measure.
- dasil003 13y agoDoes Google have 99%+ marketshare? Will they always?
- DasIch 13y agoPresumably this applies to all search engines. In any case Google has larger market share in the EU than in the US, it's 99% marketshare is probably not far off.
- ghshephard 13y agoI'd be willing to wager that 99%+ of all free-text searches go through one of Bing (which also powers Yahoo) or Google.
- mpyne 13y agoAs long as the set of search engines that do have 99% marketshare are fairly few and reachable through EU courts in this fashion, then it won't matter what the market share of #1 is.
- dan_bk 13y agoA lot of people would probably fail to reach "their Facebook" if it wasn't for Google...
