It almost seems backwards until you stop and think about it, but the existence of these kinds of laws actually makes this problem worse for most people. There is no way for anybody without significant means to continuously monitor the internet for negative search results and then continuously sick lawyers on publishers, search engines, blogs, websites, and forums to get this stuff removed. And even with unlimited means, there really is no way to put some facts back in the bottle once it's been unveiled. The existence of this kind of law makes it much more likely that most people will automatically believe anything negative that they read on the internet about you because then otherwise they'd assume that you'd be able to get lawyers to remove it. Right now, today, there's a hint of doubt about the veracity of anything on the internet, and that's actually a good thing for people who have been unfairly attacked. But if this law becomes widespread and sets a very strong precedent, then people will automatically tend to believe anything that they read about online. This is a net loss not only for freedom, but for most people who have negative search results.
