“The European Union’s top court yesterday ruled citizens have a ‘right to be forgotten’ online, meaning people may ask search-engine owners to remove personal information and request that a court or data-protection authority step in if a company doesn’t comply. The EU decision doesn’t spell out what types of information must be removed and doesn’t provide exemptions for data that are true or from a reputable source. The ruling opens the way for European users to flood the firms with Web takedown requests, adding costs and time to what they already do in content removal. Google and others may now have to [charge] a fee for European users to cover the costs of staff to comb through requests.”
