Has Dejan Lazic not heard of the Streisand Effect? (Then again, perhaps this is a deliberate bid for additional publicity.) Does he also think European laws apply to American newspapers? This seems pretty silly...

  This is simply not true.

IANAL but it might still affect their distribution of the paper in Europe. EDIT: according to response, the law does not affect newspapers, which I guess makes sense, otherwise anyone could prevent anything negative from being published about them.

  The European Union's "Right to be Forgotten" legislation only applies to search engines and link aggregators. It does not apply to newspapers, so it will not affect their distribution if they do not comply.

The Streisand Effect has an upper limit on the number of people it can affect at any time. There's only so many 'scandalous reveals' the public mind can handle at once.

Americans often act like their laws application everywhere. Why not give them a taste of their own medicine.

  For what it's worth, I'm American and for some of "my" laws (ie, prohibition), I act like they apply nowhere.

  It's a shame you got so heavily downvoted. Perhaps some examples would have helped: 1) taxes. An American citizen must file an annual tax return with the IRS no matter where they live. https://americansabroad.org/issues/taxation/us-taxes-while-living-abroad-faq/ https://americansabroad.org/issues/taxation/us-taxes-while-l... 2) Kim Dotcom, living in NZ, having his home raided by paramilitary police I'm guessing the downvotes are for using "americans" when plenty of Americans hate some of their laws.
