The government is not censoring information. The information is still available at the source. The government is preventing Google and other search engines from permanently indexing personal irrelevant or no longer relevant information. I am beginning to get the impression, most commenters who are against the ruling barely bothered to even read it properly before forming an opinion.


The information is indexed because the source allows to be indexed. And yes, the information is being censored.

Deciding what Google, Microsoft or any other search engine can index or not is censoring.

And please, stop saying that people that it is against has not read the ruling because you're wrong.


Information is not being censored. An expiration date is being put on private, irrelevant/no longer relevant information. Your failure to recognize this simple fact, does indicate two things: you either didn't read the EU ruling, or you read and fail to grasp its meaning.


Who the heck defines what is relevant or for how much time a search engine can index some information available? When they are forcing to hide them they are censoring the information.
