Misguided Pianist Asks Washington Post To Remove A Less-Than-Wonderful Review Under Right To Be Forgotten

There are all sorts of issues with the whole „right to be forgotten“ ruling in Europe from a few months back. However, some of the confusion around it has resulted in people thinking it‘s something that it totally isn‘t — leading to some rather public revelations of astoundingly thin skins. Take the case of pianist Dejan Lazic who apparently was not pleased with a less than sparkling review the Washington Post gave him four years ago. The review really isn‘t that bad. It basically just says the performance didn‘t quite live up to expectations, and someone as talented as Lazic should be able to do better. Lazic‘s response? Send the Washington Post (not Google) a demand to take down that review under the right to be forgotten ruling.
