We recently wrote about a ridiculous decision in the EU Court of Justice, which accepted the bizarre concept of a „right to be forgotten“ and ordered that Google had to delete links to old news stories about Mario Costeja Gonzalez even though those news stories could stay online. And, of course, this has set off a frenzy of folks seeking to have their embarrassing histories deleted, because, really, if you had an embarrassing public history, why wouldn‘t you?
And, within weeks, it‘s already reached the point that Germany is looking into setting up a special court to review such cases and determine what embarrassing histories Google will need to delete, and which embarrassing histories you‘ll need to learn to live with people finding on Google.
