Whenever we
search Google for a download of a song from some server (of course, illegally),
Google will flag certain websites and results. Indicating at the bottom of its
page, it would say Google had removed a number of results from the page after
it received complaints from the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act. This
became famous with many first-time Google users who thought they could find
some direct download links.
After the EU
courts had ruled that Google consent to the requests of the “right to be
forgotten,” Google will now be adding a new message below search results. When
people search for individual names, it will now show that it removed a number
of results because of the European Court of Justice’s ruling for an individual’s
right to be forgotten.
Truthfully, I
can see from other articles that Google is against the ruling, but is powerless
to act against it, but I can also see the bright side. Google can expose pretty
much everything about an individual, including some salacious and obscene things
they have done, which is recorded on media.
This is great
and all, especially for those wanting to “start over” to help elevate their
careers, but the real problem is the servers. If the media is still stored in
an external server, Google could only block, but not completely remove it.
But now, at
least we’re going to see two flagging messages from Google.
