A politician, paedophile and doctor have already asked Google "to be
forgotten" says the BBC

"Now, the BBC reports that Google has received fresh takedown
requests, from a former politician currently seeking re-election
and who wants mentions of his behaviour in office deleted. Also,
a man convicted of owning images of child abuse has requested
links about his convictions to be removed, while a doctor has
sought to delete negative reviews from his patients."

It would have been SO much easier for Stalin to delete "unfortunate" aspects
of his history (not to mention completely deleting his ex-colleagues) if he had
had access to the EU "right to be forgotten." Yep. He didn't really believe
in the public's Right to Know -- like the EU, apparently.
