Google reverses decision to delete British newspaper links
-
REUTERS - Google Inc (GOOGL.O) (GOOG.O) on Thursday reversed its decision to remove several links to stories in Britain's Guardian newspaper, underscoring the difficulty the search engine is having implementing Europe's "right to be forgotten" ruling.
The Guardian protested the removal of its stories describing how a soccer referee lied about reversing a penalty decision. It was unclear who asked Google to remove the stories.
Separately, Google has not restored links to a BBC article that described how former Merrill Lynch Chief Executive Officer E. Stanley O'Neal was ousted after the investment bank racked up billions of dollars in losses.

And it only affect aggregators/search engines. Not the original publisher. So it is not like the information is going away. Really really poorly done law.

Yeah, and makes little sense to enforce - you'd have to request anonymity every time someone makes a new page of the same information.
