Several years ago, the Spaniard Mario González Costeja in default of payments for social security. In the end, his house was auctioned off, and informed one of the Spanish logs. A few years later, the information about the event is posted by the online journal, which was equivalent to that man’s name began to appear in a Google search with the unflattering information about him arrears of fees.

Costeja asked the newspaper to ask for the removal of the said information, explaining that paid the arrears. Not met with understanding, so I turned to the matter also to Google. Here, too, has done nothing so I finally decided to report the matter to the Spanish counterpart of our Inspector General (General Inspector for Personal Data Protection), which found that the newspaper does not have to do anything, and Google promised to remove appearing in search engine data at issue.

In turn, Google appealed the decision to the Spanish court. This and remanded the case to the EU Court of Justice for an opinion on whether Internet users have the right to require Google to remove their data.

May 13 EU Court issued a ruling recognizing in him, that, in certain circumstances, if surfer wants, Google must remove items from search results containing his name.

Google provides a form

Of course, this decision is very out of hand Google . However, it has decided to cooperate with the EU, which was confirmed by providing a form ‘Request for removal results in accordance with European law on the protection of personal data “.

“The Court of Justice of the European Union recently decided that some users may request to remove items from search results containing their name, if the results are” incorrect, inappropriate or excessive in relation to the purposes for which they are processed. “In connection with this decision, all requests will be considered individually in order to protect the privacy of individuals while not infringe the rights of access to public information, or to be granted. consider requests to take into account whether the search results contain outdated information, or increased public interest in the information – for example, whether they relate to fraud, irregularities in their work, prosecution or public behavior of government representatives. ” – Explains Google.

For the filling in the application need is a scan of a valid photo ID. Today, unfortunately, it is not known how many will continue its consideration. We already know, however, that this is to help the team of advisers consisting of experts in law, philosophy and the Internet.

Big controversy

It is worth noting that so-called. “Right to be forgotten” also carries certain risks. You can in fact imagine that now Google start arriving en masse applications, among which will also include conclusions from criminals who want to remove from the Internet any information about their past. Apparently, the UK intends to take advantage of this opportunity politician who was convicted for possession of child pornography.
