    This seems a pretty significant ruling, a good thing?

    Not sure about this, If information is already in the public domain, then Google just provides a link to it, so this does look a little like a form of censorship, because the information is still there, and there are always ways to find stuff if you want to. The only answer is to get the original digital documents or info deleted at source, although if it’s official court documents about the repossession, or newspaper info, that might be difficult.
    Tricky, this, I can see both sides of the argument here.

    The last paragraph in that article…

    “The court said people should address any request for data to be removed to the operator of the search engine, which must then examine its merits.”

    It’ll be a charter for Lawyers yet again.

    seeing both sides but google seem the easier target rather than the people holding the information.
