Google begins removing search results following EU court ruling

Google has begun removing some search results following a recent European Union ruling, although a digital rights expert here said the manner in which it was doing so was "a little disappointing".

The removal of certain search results comes after a European Court ruling in May on the “right to be forgotten”.

Following the European Court of Justice ruling, Google opened an online request form and received 41,000 requests from across Europe within four days of doing so.
