EU pushing harder for search engine censorship via "right to be forgotten" (+ my comments)

  "Los Alfaques, a bucolic campground near the Spanish town of
   Tarragona, isn't happy with Google. That's because searches for
   "camping Alfaques" bring up horrific images of charred human
   flesh-not good for business when you're trying to sell people on
   the idea of relaxation.  The campground believes it has the right
   to demand that Google stop showing "negative" links, even though
   the links aren't mistakes at all.  Are such lawsuits an aberration,
   or the future of Europe's Internet experience in the wake of its
   new "right to be forgotten" proposals?"

I've previously expressed my concerns regarding the speech suppressing
and impractical nature of "right to be forgotten" proposals, and my
preferred path of *more* information, not less.  Please see: "Deleting
History: Why Governments Demand Google Censor the Truth" from a year
ago for more: http://j.mp/dOE4Vw (Lauren's Blog).
